Tips

• If you have a local farmers market take advantage of peaches from them . They are so much better than the peaches bought in the store . I bought a case from someone that goes to Georgia to pick them up , I am in Louisiana .
• Check out How I peel Peaches HERE
• Don’t skip the maceration process. This softens the peaches and draws the liquid out making a yummy syrup .
• Don’t be tempted to leave your peaches in chunks . They will be like hard ice in your creamy ice cream .
• Don’t skip churning the ice cream. This puts air into the ice cream making it creamy and prevents ice crystals from forming .

Let’s Make Homemade Peach Ice Cream

Peel and dice your peaches and put them in a bowl with 1/4 cup sugar . lemon juice and salt . The will soften the peaches. Allow this to set at least 30 minutes

Warm the cup of whole milk and mix with the remaining sugar . Stir until the sugar is dissolved and let cool.

Notes

Use the best peaches you can get your hands on. This is best when peaches are in season but frozen peaches can be used if defrosted . 

Don’t be tempted to leave big chunks of peaches in the mix . They will be hard in the freezing process.
