Peach-Blueberry Ice Cream

Ingredients: 

11 ounces fresh blueberries (about 2 cups)

3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 pound fresh peaches, peeled and chopped (about 3 cups)

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

1 1/2 cups whole milk

1/4 cup light corn syrup

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

5 large egg yolks

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup (2 ounces) bourbon

Steps to Make It: 

Step 1: Cook blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and lemon juice in a medium-size, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until berries begin to burst and liquid begins to thicken, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool for 30 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Cover and chill until completely cool, at least 1 hour or until ready to use (up to 1 week).

Step 2: Process chopped peaches in a food processor until almost smooth (applesauce consistency), leaving a few chunky bits, about 30 seconds. Set aside.

Step 3: Stir together heavy cream, whole milk, corn syrup, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a medium saucepan, and cook over medium, stirring occasionally, just until mixture begins to simmer (bubbles begin to form around the outside edge of pan), 5 to 6 minutes.

Step 4: Meanwhile, whisk together egg yolks and vanilla in a large bowl. While whisking yolk mixture constantly, carefully ladle about 1 cup hot cream mixture into yolk mixture; continue whisking until cream mixture is fully incorporated. Carefully whisk in remaining hot cream mixture.

Step 5: Pour custard mixture back into the saucepan, and cook over medium-high, whisking constantly, until mixture begins to thicken and coats the back of a spoon, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool for 10 minutes.

Step 6: Stir bourbon and pureed peaches into custard. Pour custard mixture into a gallon-size ziplock plastic freezer bag. Seal bag, and place in an ice bath. Let stand until the mixture is completely cool, about 30 minutes.

Step 7: Pour mixture into a 1 1/2-quart electric ice cream maker, and proceed according to manufacturer’s instructions. (Instructions and times may vary.) Transfer to an airtight, freezer-safe container; freeze until slightly firm, about 30 minutes. Dollop blueberry mixture over ice cream, and swirl with a spoon. Cover and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
