Servings: 8
Author Notes: If the peaches you find are hard and odorless, place them in a paper bag, seal it loosely, and let it sit on your counter for up to 48 hours, until the peaches are soft and fragrant.
Ingredients: 1 pound fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and cut into wedges
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups whole milk
2/3 cup sugar
Instructions: Makes About 1 Quart (can be doubled for half-gallon machines)

1. Place the peaches, lemon juice, and salt in a blender and blend until fairly smooth, scraping down the sides of the canister as necessary.

2. Warm 1 1/2 cups of the milk in a medium saucepan set over low heat. Stir in the sugar until dissolved. Pour into the blender with the peach purée; add the remaining 1 cup of milk. Blend until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl and refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours, or overnight.

3. Whisk the mixture again and freeze in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serve at once - or transfer to a large container, seal well, and store in the freezer fro up to 1 month; soften at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.
