I'm sooo in agreement with MaryB and gwpercle re peach challenges! Our younger son lives near the Pennsylvania border and on occasion we can get ripe peaches when visiting. A couple of weeks back we bought a peck from a Mennonite stand, and wife canned about half; made a cobbler with a quarter; and, we ate the remaining ones. What a treat! BUT -- I'll bet those of you who may pick them, ripe, from the tree get even a better taste experience!
I recall my first visit to southern California where I chomped my first, from the tree, fresh avocado. I would have sworn it was a different variety than that which we purchase in the north-north-east. No doubt, similar re peaches.

Oh my lord ! I do love me some peaches!! When you get that cobbler ready, give me a holler!!!
Keep your powder dry and watch your six !!
I would like it if one of you would post a peach ice cream recipe. I'm primed to make a gallon. thanks!

Louisiana Fresh Peach Ice Cream
Yield : 1 gallon
Ingredients:
2 1/2 pounds tree ripened Ruston , La. peaches - peeled, pitted and cut up .
1 pint half and half cream
1/2 cup white sugar - if peaches are not sweet Ruston tree ripened, you can use up to 1 cup sugar to sweeten or if you just prefer your ice cream on the sweet side ... sugar to taste ,
1 - 14 ounce can Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 - 12 ounce can Evaporated Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 cups Whole Milk - or as needed.
Directions
Puree peaches with Half and Half and sugar , in batches in a blender or food processor .
I leave some peaches on the chunky side .
Mix blended peach mixture , Sweetened Condensed Milk, Evaporated Milk , and Vanilla in a Gallon Ice Cream Freezer Container . Pour enough Whole Milk into container to reach the Fill Line ...
about 2 cups or as needed .
Pour mixture into ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions .
Chilling the container first will help the ice cream freeze faster .
The sweeter the peaches the better tasting the ice cream will be .
This was the recipe my Mom liked best and we boy's would take turns sitting on the freezer and turning the crank . My Dad was a ice cream Lover and he passed that love of ice cream on to me and my brother . That first electric ice cream freezer was a most welcomed invention !

thank you for that recipe for peach ice creme. I just made a gallon using three peaches mixed in with my French vanilla recipe. It was good enough, but I'll be giving yours a try. My recipe uses 5(or 6) eggs, and i cook it over low heat. I think your recipe sounds better.

smoked turkey , You are welcome !
Honestly the recipe that calls for 5 or 6 eggs and is cooked will be richer and more "custard" ice cream flavor ...richer . And my Mom used to make it with eggs and cook it ...but when she hit on the
"no egg - no cook" recipe she found it a lot easier and quicker to mix up a batch ... Me , Dad and Brother didn't have a problem with the "new improved no-egg no-cook recipe " we made ice cream more often ergo we got to eat more ice cream ... Win-Win for her & us !!!
Give it a try ... it's more on the "ice-milk" side of the scale ... but I can eat a larger bowl of it !
I used to like the custard ice cream better but now that I'm older , I prefer the lighter , no egg recipe better .

Gary I have been wanting to give you another post and make a comment on your last post. I have been wanting to give the "no cook" recipe a try and I plan to do that and soon I hope. I still have some of the peach ice cream I made the other day. I will probably make a run by Aldi where we grocery shop and see if I can purchase the rest of the stuff I need. We are planning a little vacation and we will be over in North Carolina, VA, and TN as we travel the Blue Ridge Parkway. I hope I can find some good peaches as we travel. A few years ago our church had an ice cream social and I got hold of some bad uncooked eggs and gave me salmonella (spelling ?) and that put the kibosh to our home made ice cream for a while. I am trying to get back in it and I've been making some here and there. I love it and can eat it without issues. I do use 2% milk to some degree, but I will buy whole milk and half & half tomorrow at the store for my next batch. Thanks again.
