IllustrationWhy it works: Milk and peach match in chemistry and in kitchens. They rank in the top 4% of all ingredient pairs, and 780 recipes mention both. Both carry phellandrene, which smells minty. The science ↓
The recipe
Ingredients
Contains: egg, milk (auto-detected from the ingredients and method; we can miss things, so check labels)
Directions
One quart of rich milk and as much sweet cream ; four cups of sugar; six eggs; one quart of very ripe peaches, pared and cut small. Make as in directions for self-freezing ice cream, but stir in the peaches just before closing the freezer for the second time, beating them well into the congealing cream. Unless they are very sweet, you would do well to dredge them in sugar before they go in.
