White peaches have flavor and perfume like no others. Let them ripen juicily and capture summer on a spoon.
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
Juice of 1 lemon
1 pound peeled, pitted peaches
In a small saucepan, combine sugar, water and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Remove from heat.
In a blender, combine peaches and sugar syrup. Puree until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve. Process the fruit mixture in an ice cream maker. Serve soft or freeze until firm. Makes about 2 cups.
