peaches

Time to buy a box of white peaches.

I do like the crispy/crunchy 'baek do' variety too. The sweetness and flavor of soft white peach, but it snaps and cracks like a radish.

Since peaches are in season now, I've been making peaches and sour cream ice cream. No ice cream machine required but a blender or food processor is a necessity. I've been using this recipe but tripling the quanities:

1 to 2 ripe medium-sized peaches (white or yellow)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup sugar

1 cup sour cream

Peel, remove pits, and cut up the peaches into 1 inch chunks. Makes about 1 packed cup.

Put cut peaches and lemon juice in a blender or food processor and puree.

Add sugar and sour cream and blend everything together.

Pour mixture into a shallow pan, cover and freeze.

After mixture has frozen about 2 1/2 hours take it out of the freezer and break it up into chunks with a fork and put frozen chunks into blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

At this point, it can be served as a slushy drink or poured back into the shallow pan, cover and refreeze until firm enough to scoop. This makes about a pint of ice cream.

The finished product has the tang of frozen yogurt but it's more of the texture of gelato or sherbet.

i've been buying a lot of Colorado peaches and they're always perfectly ripe. I haven't had any issues with dryness yet
