Peach Ice Cream Recipe

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>There are a few things that scream summer to me, and peaches are one of them. </b>South of Mostar we have a small family orchard where fresh and organic peaches are grown, and every summer, the house (or I should say the refrigerator) is filled with piles and piles of peaches. That also means, that you have to be creative with them, otherwise they will go bad quickly. </div> <br /> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I love eating them, just as they are, but when you transform them into a Peach Ice Cream, then summer just got a little better. This recipe is very fresh, there is no cooking involved, no eggs, no custard, and the finished result has a great peach flavor.</div> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <i>click on the images for a bigger view</i></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD3BRiwf61BQOxr-c-JOK3TfTgVjagRQaaYY1klMXuieeDai0fUrqPLvlTBCnj5Wm4XhaqjW59zRy_sVEFMXliLRmLl23k4BAQ_UX-1Ep2_H6JGh1cIoKUFbzYfAgrtZxMBT6mFfa7nbY/s1600/IMG_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD3BRiwf61BQOxr-c-JOK3TfTgVjagRQaaYY1klMXuieeDai0fUrqPLvlTBCnj5Wm4XhaqjW59zRy_sVEFMXliLRmLl23k4BAQ_UX-1Ep2_H6JGh1cIoKUFbzYfAgrtZxMBT6mFfa7nbY/s1600/IMG_01.jpg" /></a></div> <br /> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><br /> <b>Ingredients:  </b><br /> - 10 peaches, skin peeled and diced into cubes<br /> - juice of one lemon<br /> - 70 gr (1/3 cup) sugar<br /> - 125 ml (1/2 cup) whipping cream <br /> - 125 ml (1/2 cup) milk<br /> - 1 tbsp vanilla extract <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXVxbSCzde0xpv-BA5H6iOA7rArzyCT2dcsZLx7OqVomzfPI3y9FbF0b37_SbneI9Dq_pDfx-XH4sUMTN-FDzB5bZ2AD_AW4qf2O8OWTXUVhz6BRMky4GV5GF2TkK0L2ClqkeRFtp4zzs/s1600/IMG_02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXVxbSCzde0xpv-BA5H6iOA7rArzyCT2dcsZLx7OqVomzfPI3y9FbF0b37_SbneI9Dq_pDfx-XH4sUMTN-FDzB5bZ2AD_AW4qf2O8OWTXUVhz6BRMky4GV5GF2TkK0L2ClqkeRFtp4zzs/s1600/IMG_02.jpg" /></a></div> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> Peel and dice the peaches.

You can make this without one (even though It won't taste quite the same). The trick is, once you pour the mixture into the airtight container in the end, take it out of the freezer every 30 minutes for the next 5-6 hours and give it a good stir. That way you'll get rid of the ice crystals that stop the ice cream from being creamy.</div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjSM-UwUeaiasp9UYLydofE8Eemq6PluL_e8VYHoMRyEYWHWq_wIKqXqM9aoLZZzbYBfuwnZbg__kIGUZZWNkPaq_AfONTfFKK6OKrFAowHDVbslVgoPyKKdm05BWqTXyAD2TctTEA5VQ/s1600/IMG_13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjSM-UwUeaiasp9UYLydofE8Eemq6PluL_e8VYHoMRyEYWHWq_wIKqXqM9aoLZZzbYBfuwnZbg__kIGUZZWNkPaq_AfONTfFKK6OKrFAowHDVbslVgoPyKKdm05BWqTXyAD2TctTEA5VQ/s1600/IMG_13.jpg" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <b>Serve it up and enjoy!</b></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <b>Do you like peaches?
