Homemade Peach Ice Cream

INGREDIENTS

•  1 1/2 pounds fresh peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced (or 3 cups frozen sliced peaches)
•  1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
•  1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•  1 cup sugar, divided
•  2 cups heavy cream, divided
•  ⅛ teaspoon salt
•  2 graham cracker, pulverized (totally smash 'em up!)
•  1 cup whole milk
•  2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a skillet over medium heat, simmer peaches, 1/4 cup sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to heat-safe bowl and chill in refrigerator or in ice bath to room temperature.
2. In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream, remaining 3/4 cup sugar, and salt over medium, stir until sugar is just dissolved. Remove from heat, and whisk in crushed graham cracker. Let mixture cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
3. In a separate medium mixing bowl, add remaining 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup milk, vanilla extract. Add cooled cream/sugar/graham cracker mixture, and half of cooled peach mixture, whisk to combine.
