When making ice cream it’s important to adapt the volume of the recipe to your ice cream machine.
Recipe below was made in a 1 ½ quart max capacity ice cream maker.
Ingredients:
1 ½ pounds of peaches (about 4-5 peaches)
½ cup of water
½ to ¾ cup of sugar (depends on how much sweetness you prefer)
½ cup of sour cream or kefir
1 cup of heavy cream
¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract
A few drops of lemon juice
1. Peel and cut up peaches. Put peaches in a pan with water. Cook over medium heat and simmer until they are soft and cooked. Turn off heat and stir in sugar. Cool the peaches to room temperature.
2. Add all the rest of the ingredients to a blender or food processor. Add the cooled peaches and blend. Blend to your preference, it can be made very smooth to slightly chunky.
3. Chill the mixture, at least several hours, although best if chilled overnight. Make in ice cream machine.
