Directions
-
Combine the finely chopped peaches, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and the lemon juice in a bowl.
-
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours, stirring the mixture every 30 minutes to macerate the fruit.
-
Remove the peaches from the refrigerator and drain the resulting juice into a separate bowl.
-
Return the drained peaches to the refrigerator to keep them chilled.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light and fluffy, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
-
Gradually whisk in the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar, a little at a time, continuing to whisk until completely blended, about 1 minute more.
-
Pour in the heavy cream and milk, whisking continuously to blend them into the egg mixture.
-
Add the reserved peach juice to the cream mixture and whisk until fully combined.
-
Transfer the liquid mixture to your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
-
Just before the ice cream is fully frozen (about 2 minutes before it is done), add the chilled peaches.
-
Continue freezing until the ice cream is firm and ready to serve.

Note
Ben and Jerry prefer small peaches for this recipe because they tend to have more intense flavor and less water content than larger varieties.
For best results, use ripe peaches that are fragrant and slightly soft to the touch. This ensures the maximum amount of natural sweetness and flavor.
If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow metal container, stirring it vigorously every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals and incorporate air.
Store the finished ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. For best texture, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
