Peach Ice Cream

Makes about 1-1/2 quarts

6 medium peaches (about 2 lbs.), peeled and stoned,
        or 4 cups frozen unsweetened peach slices, thawed
1 cup sugar
3 cups heavy cream
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

In a large bowl, mash the peaches into a course puree. Stir in 1/4 cup of the sugar. Let stand 1 hour.

Add the cream, milk, remaining 3/4-cup sugar, and vanilla to peaches, stirring to blend. Refrigerate, covered, until very cold, at least 3 hours or as long as 3 days.

Stir the mixture to blend and pour in to the canister of an ice cream maker. Freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. Eat at once or transfer to a covered container and freeze up to 8 hours.
