Ingredients
- 2 cups chopped fresh or frozen peaches, peeled if preferred
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons peach brandy
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 egg yolks
Directions
In a bowl combine peaches, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice and peach brandy. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours or overnight, stirring occasionally. Remove peach mixture from refrigerator and drain juice into a cup. Return peaches to refrigerator.
In a saucepan combine 3/4 cup sugar, heavy cream, milk and vanilla. Bring just to a boil.
In bowl whisk egg yolks. While whisking stream in about 1/3 of the boiled cream mixture. While whisking cream and sugar mixture, stream in egg and cream mixture. Return to the heat and continue to heat while stirring. Mixture will thicken as it returns to a boil. Remove from heat and strain into a bowl set over ice. Add the reserved peach juice.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. After the ice cream begins to stiffen, when very close to done, add the peaches and continue to freeze until done. Variation: Use fresh raspberries

Delicious ice cream, I'm making the second batch in a week. I added raspberries to the first one, but have some candied ginger to add to this batch to see how that works. I think just plain it would be great.

Wonderful recipe. I have made it several times, but using strawberries instead. I will be back down south this summer and can't wait to make it with peaches.

Fantastic recipe. I found banana liqueur in the back of a cabinet (can't remember why I bought it as it was the only thing I had that was at all close to peach brandy. I let the peaches soak overnight and at last minute, decided to add pecans. I toasted them in a small skillet with a little butter and dash of kosher salt, and mixed them into the peach mixture. I filled my Cuisinart ice cream maker 2/3 (leaving a little for a small next batch. The ice cream is fantastic. I will use this recipe for all my fruit ice creams.
