It is actually a boozy peach dessert (so that should make some of you happy!). I made a Brandied Peach Ice Cream! The local peach season is about to end here in the South. You should thank me that I have saved you from some of the agony by not showing you all of the other peach dishes I have made this Summer like peach cobbler, peach pie, Peach Melba, peach salsa, grilled peaches, peach salad…It reminds me of Bubba Gump…almost all the things you can do with shrimp…you can do with peaches! This is a whole lotta Brandied Peach Ice Cream! I did think that this ice cream was worthy of a mention since it was sooo good. The evenings are getting really chilly here in the mountains and the Summer is slipping by (don’t start fussing about how cold you are now…it’s going to get worse!). One tip, this was best served right from the freezer in soft-serve mode (as are most homemade ice creams).
