3/4 c. sugar

1 c. whole milk

1 tsp vanilla


Sprinkle 1/2 c sugar over peaches and let sit for 15 mins to release juices.

Then hand mash peaches in a bowl. Add remaining ingredients.

Add mixture to the freezer bowl of the ice cream maker and turn it on. Let it run until it has thickened up! Usually 35 +/- mins. Transfer to a container and put in the freezer if you want it to firm up more.


(you can also use 3 c. half and half instead of whole milk and cream)
