HOMEMADE PEACH ICE CREAM

Each summer, between Memorial and Labor Day, my family goes to our house on the TN River/KY lake. Each weekend, my whole family fills the brightly-colored home to spend time together, play on the water or go boating, and enjoy good home cooked meals. (By the way, when I say my "whole" family, I mean it! Both sets of grandparents come up, as my dad's parents have a house near us, too. My brother, his friends, my friends, cousins, and my aunts and uncles... the whole shebang!) These moments have been etched into my memory as some of the best in my life. Since most of this time revolves around the kitchen and food, it's no small wonder I've become such a lover of food :) It's important to me, mostly, because of the family and friends you are sharing the meal with. This recipe has been served as long as I can remember. On birthdays, anniversaries, and summertime holidays, anyone at our lake house can count on this being served! I wanted to share the recipe with you because of how much I love it and what a big part it has played, not only in my childhood, but my life with my family. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Best if using home-grown peaches.

This is the BEST ice cream maker. Hands down. It's a little more expensive than your regular ice cream makers, but it lasts a lifetime & is SO worth it!

Pardon my pictures... this stuff is so out-of-this-world AMAZING that I forgot to snap some good pictures. Trust me. You would forget too.

In case you can't read it, we also add 8 oz of Cool Whip to this recipe. Makes it SO creamy!

If you like the chunks of peaches like we do, roughly chop them. If not, you can certainly blend them in the blender.
