Summertime Peach Ice Cream

Our Father's Day tradition is homemade ice cream and homemade cookies.  Only this year my daughter, Madi, decided to make golf course cupcakes.  Peach is Dad's favorite so we aim to please.  Nothing beats homemade peach ice cream for a real summertime treat!

Ingredients:

4 c. peeled, diced fresh peaches (about 8 small ripe peaches)
1 c. sugar
1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
1 (3.75 oz) pkg vanilla instant pudding mix
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
4 c. half-and-half

Directions:

1. Combine peaches and sugar, and let stand 1 hour.
2. Process peach mixture in a food processor until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides.
3. Stir together evaporated milk and  pudding mix in a large bowl; stir in peach puree, condensed milk, and half-and-half.
4. Pour mixture into freezer container of a 4 qt. hand-turned or electric freezer; freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.  Spoon into an airtight container, and freeze until firm.
