Prepare the peaches

  1. Peel and pit one dozen best ripe peaches, then place them in a bowl and crush with six ounces pulverized sugar.

Make the cream base

  1. Take one quart rich cream, sweeten to taste, and flavor with one teaspoon Royce's almond.

Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Peaches
Provide the main fruit flavor and body of the ice cream.
Pulverized sugar
Sweetens the peaches and helps draw out their juices.
Rich cream (in the method)
Adds fat that makes the ice cream smooth and creamy.

The step that matters

Adding the peaches when nearly frozen. If the base is still liquid, the crushed peaches sink and dilute the mixture. Adding them once it is nearly frozen keeps the fruit suspended and evenly distributed through the cream.
