Summer Favorite

Somewhere during the early summer days this year, I came across this recipe in a Betty Crocker cook book.  I tried it and fell in love!  Seriously, during peach season, this was ALWAYS in my freezer.  It's fairly simple and has pretty common ingredients.  So, even though peach season is over and snow has already fallen, here's a recipe for peach ice cream.

I used peaches from a neighbor's tree for this batch...heavenly.
