HOME MADE ICE CREAM!

I love home made ice cream.  Especially peach!  Growing up, my mom would always make home made ice cream in the summer and we would take turns as kids going to check and see if it was ready!  I still remember the noise of the machine turning the tube around and the big pieces of rock salt scattered all over the patio.  Here is what you need for the ice cream and how to make it.  This is great with summer right on the way!

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 pint half-and-half cream
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whole milk, or as needed

Directions

  1. Puree peaches with the sugar and half-and-half in batches in a blender or food processor.
  2. In a gallon ice cream freezer container, mix together the peach mixture, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla. Pour in enough whole milk to fill the container to the fill line, about 2 cups.
  3. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to freeze the ice cream.
