Ingredients

Instructions

In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine half-and-half and ¾ cup sugar. Heat mixture over medium-high heat until it just begins to boil; remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks and remaining ¼ cup sugar until light and fluffy. Using a ladle, pour 1 cup hot half-and-half mixture in a slow steady stream into yolks, whisking constantly. Add another cup of hot half-and-half mixture, whisking to combine. Return mixture to saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon or temperature reaches 170° on an instant-read thermometer.
Pour mixture through a mesh sieve, and strain into a stainless-steel bowl set in an ice-water bath. Stir in peaches. Let cool completely, stirring often. Refrigerate for 2 hours before freezing.
Freeze mixture in batches in a 1-quart gel-type ice-cream maker, according to manufacturer’s instructions. If a firmer texture is desired, transfer ice cream to an airtight container, and freeze for 2 hours or until firm.
