Adapted from Southern Living Comfort Food
8 ripe, fresh peaches (about 4 cups chopped)
1 cup of granulated sugar
1 (12 ounce) can of evaporated milk
1 (3.75 ounce) package of Jello instant vanilla pudding
1 (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk
4 cups of half and half
Electric ice cream freezer machine
5 pound or larger bag of ice
Rock salt
Bring a small pot of water to a rolling boil. Using a slotted spoon, drop 2 to 3 peaches in the boiling water at a time, return to a boil and allow peaches to sit in the boiling water for about 30 seconds. Remove and peel; pit the peaches and cut them into chunks. Place into a bowl and sprinkle with the sugar, stir; allow to rest for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Place peaches and juice into a food processor and pulse about 3 to 4 times, until mostly pureed. Set aside.
Whisk together the evaporated milk and pudding mix until well blended. Add the peaches, sweetened condensed milk and half and half and whisk well. Pour mixture into the container of an ice cream freezer and process according to the directions for your freezer. Once the process is complete, transfer to a container and place into the freezer until firm.
Makes 2 quarts.
