Peaches
Wash peaches well.
You can leave the skin on or take it off – whichever you prefer.
Finely chop or mash peaches.
Combine peaches, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup sugar in a small, airtight container.
Chill peach mixture in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Leaving the strawberries, in the fridge longer will enhance the flavor.
Ice Cream Base
Gently, heat milk in saucepan until bubbles start to form on top - but do not boil.
Meanwhile, beat eggs about 1-2 min until they are light and fluffy.
Slowly add sugar to the eggs and beat for 1 more minute.
Pour about half of the heated milk over the egg mixture and combine.
Pour the remaining milk over the eggs and mix well.
Return to saucepan and continue to heat over medium heat until milk thickens. You'll know your done when it starts to stick to the back of your spoon.
Remove from heat and chill at least 3 hours to overnight. The more thoroughly chilled, the better your ice cream texture will be.
Stir heavy cream into the cooled milk mixture.
Strain peaches and add the peach juice to milk mixture, setting peaches aside.
Pour the ice cream base into your ice cream maker.
Mix about 20-25 minutes or according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Add peaches to the ice cream as it mixes.
Mix 5 more minutes in your ice cream maker.
