From the comments:

It’s peach season here in central PA and this recipe looked like a winner. Well, it’s MORE than a winner, maybe the best of all time!!! I followed the directions exactly and hello peaches and cream! A smooth and creamy delight! One warning though, the recipe makes 3 full quarts of liquid, so I had to run 2 batches in my 1 1/2 quart Cuisinart, the 2nd batch came out a little softer than normal but a few hours in the freezer should fix that. Get your peaches and make this recipe NOW!!

Recipe Tips:

• No overnight chilling was needed, just mix and pour into the ice cream maker.
• It took a few hours in the freezer to become firmer than soft serve, but it was worth the wait. I was on cloud nine sampling what was left on my machine’s paddle.
• Since any larger pieces of fruit can get icy when frozen, I recommend a good mashing of the diced fruit.
• My son, Nick, and I doubled up our peach intake by having our scoops of fresh peach ice cream over Peach Crisp. Fruit is healthy, right???

This recipe is half of Lea Ann's original recipe and I still could not fit it all into my ice cream maker. Store unused peach custard in the refrigerator and freeze it within 24 hours.
