PEACH ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place the peaches and honey in the jar of a blender. Puree until smooth. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, bring the milk almost to a boil over medium heat. In a second medium saucepan, blend together the egg yolks, sugar and salt with a wooden spoon until thick and light (be careful not to make the mixture foamy). Slowly stir in half the hot milk, then transfer the mixture to the other saucepan with the remaining milk and stir until blended.
• Decrease the heat to low and cook gently, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Continue stirring the custard until thick enough to coat the back of the spoon and the mixture reaches 175 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the heat.
• Set a sieve over a large, clean bowl and pass the custard through the sieve. Discard any eggy solids. Add the peach puree and vanilla and stir to combine. Chill the custard completely over an ice bath made by filling a large bowl with ice cubes and water, or refrigerate it until chilled. Churn the ice cream according to the instructions for your ice-cream maker.

• In a food processor, puree the peaches until nearly smooth. Scrape the puree into a large bowl and whisk in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla bean paste, salt, ginger and peach extract if using.

• Stir 1/3 of the whipped cream into the peach mixture to lighten it, then gently fold in the remaining whipped cream in 2 or 3 batches until no streaks remain. Scrape the mixture into a chilled 6-cup freezer-proof pan (a loaf pan works well). Press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the ice cream. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.
