I was looking through my Great-Grandmother’s 1913 cookbook and came across this amazingly simple peach ice cream recipe. It requires no special equipment and takes mere minutes to make. (Minus the freezing time.) Since I always have canned peaches around, and often have cream from my milk cow it is especially easy for me.

You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to have tasty old-fashioned peach ice cream.

Jars of preserved peaches beside a scoop of ice cream, metal jug, vase, and ice cream scoop on a brown cloth. Cozy, rustic vibe.

Peach ice cream Steps:

Person in apron holds jar of peaches over red bowl in a kitchen. Text: "1 Quart Peaches (or 2 cups mashed)." Milk jar nearby.

1. Drain 1 quart of peaches. Empty fruit into a large bowl.

Person in an apron pours sugar into a red bowl. Text reads "2 cups Sugar." A jar of milk is nearby on a kitchen counter.

2. Cover peaches with 2 cups of sugar. Mash the fruit and sugar together.

Person in a patterned shirt and apron pours cream from a jar into a red bowl. Text reads "6 cups Cream." Kitchen background.

3. Pour 6 cups of cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla over the fruit mixture.

Hand holding a glass bowl with scoops of vanilla ice cream over a container on a speckled countertop.

4. Mix together well and place in a large lidded container. Place in freezer for about 8 hours.

5. Once it has partially frozen, stir so the fruit doesn’t separate down to the bottom. Freeze another 8-12 hours or until ice cream is at the desired consistency.

I find it is easier to scoop if I take it out of the freezer 10 minutes before I want to serve it.
