Paula Deens Peach Ice Cream Food

FARM-STAND PEACH ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Heat the half-and-half, cream, and vanilla bean and reserved seeds in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat just until scalded (just before the boiling point). Remove from the heat and discard the vanilla bean.
• Place the egg yolks and 1/2 cup of the sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Slowly whisk about 2 cups of the half-and-half mixture into the yolks to temper the eggs. Whisk the yolk mixture back into the pan with the half-and-half mixture and cook over very low heat, whisking constantly, for 5 to 7 minutes, until thick. The custard should coat the back of a spoon and hold a line drawn with your finger.
• Whisk in the butter until melted, then remove from the heat and let cool. Transfer the custard to an airtight plastic container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Place the peaches in a large bowl and toss with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the salt. Let sit for at least 30 minutes, until the fruit releases its juices and the sugar is no longer grainy. Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
• Pulse the peaches in a blender or food processor five or six times, until smooth but still slightly chunky. Pour the custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Add the peaches for the last 5 minutes of churning. Scoop and serve.

BEST PEACH TART-PAULA DEEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• To make the crust:.
• Please the flour, butter and sour cream in a food processor and pulse to combine. When the dough has formed a ball, pat with lightly floured hands into the bottom and sides of an ungreased 10-inch tart plan with a removable bottom and 1/2 inch sides. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the crust is set but not browned. Let cool while preparing the filling.
• Lower the oven to 350°F.
• To make the filling:.
• If using fresh peaches, peel and thickly slice the peaches. Arrange the fresh peach slices in overlapping circles on top of the crust, until it's completely covered. Overfill the crust, as the peaches will shrink during cooking.
• Combine the egg yolks, sour cream, sugar, and flour and beat until smooth. Pour the mixture over the peaches. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake for about 1 hour, until the custard sets and is pale golden in color. Cover with an aluminum foil tent if the crust gets too dark. Transfer the tart pan to a wire rack to cool. When cool, remove the side wall of the pan.
• To make the glaze:.
• Combine the preserves or jelly and orange juice. Spread with a pastry brush over the top of the warm tart. Serve the tart warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Garnish with fresh mint.
