It’s Mom’s Birthday and I’ve Got a Peach of an Idea!

Posted on by

As you may, or may not, recall, August is the birthday month for a number of people in my life, with today, August 15th, being Mom’s birthday as well as that of her Mother, Grandma Bartolini. Zia’s husband, “Uncle”, was born on the 11th  — and we’re just getting started. My Friend, one of the Kitchens’ tasters, had a birthday on the 7th, while another, my Friend the Entertainer, will be celebrating on the 20th.  And we mustn’t forget the kids. My Grand-Nephew’s birthday was the 1st, my not-quite-a-nephew Nephew will be blowing out candles on the 24th, and the Oldest of the Boys Upstairs has a birthday this Saturday, on the 18th. That’s a lot of birthdays!

So to celebrate, last August I posted 3 separate ice cream recipes that I combined for the finale. The first was taken from a recipe book that Mom gave me shortly after I moved to Chicago in 1980.

*     *     *

Pistachio Nut Ice Cream

*     *     *

Next on that month’s agenda was an ice cream based on Mom’s own chocolate recipe.

Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Ice Cream

*     *     *

Then came the third recipe. Again, using Mom’s recipe as a base, I created this “pretty in pink” ice cream.

Maraschino Cherry Ice Cream

*     *     *

Well, with those 3 recipes laying the ground work, I had little choice but to put them together.

Spumoni Ice Cream (It’s da Bomba!)

*     *     *

Now, having mentioned those 3 ice cream recipes and a Bombe, I might as well finish off this little round-up by sending you to the hands-down favorite ice cream recipe of all the Kitchens’ tasters, family, and friends. It may not be a frozen custard nor traditional ice cream but, I have to say, it’s damn good!  (Pssst! It’s the crumbled graham cracker crust.)

Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

*     *     *

As great as that all sounds, this year I was in quite a pickle. What should I do for this year’s Birthday Month? How could I possibly top a Spumoni Bombe? Well, I can’t and won’t even try. What I will do, however, is share a recipe for an ice cream flavor that Mom loved. Yes, when it came to ice cream, Mom had a number of favorites. Frankly, I doubt that Mom ever tasted an ice cream that she didn’t like — and we haven’t even mentioned sherbet yet.

So, with that monkey off my back, I decided to take full advantage of the bounty in this area’s farmers markets. Today’s recipe will be for peach ice cream. It’s a simple recipe that results in a peachy frozen delight.  It’s Mom’s birthday, however, and “peachy” just won’t do. Directly following the recipe is a serving suggestion that Mom would have surely enjoyed. I hope you will, too.

Now, if you’ve no experience working with peaches, this paragraph is for you. In the first place, you may not be able to find fruit that are perfectly ripe, even in your farmers market. Just place the best you can find in a paper bag, place it on a counter, and check them every morning. In a couple of days, your peaches will be exactly how you like them. So, once your peaches are ripe, how do you peel them? Bring a large pot of water to boil. In the meantime, fill a large bowl with iced water. Take each peach and use a paring knife to cut a small “X” into the fruit’s bottom. Place the peaches into the rapidly boiling water and leave them there for about 30 seconds. Transfer them to the iced water bath to cool and to stop them from cooking. After a few minutes, simply peel off the skin beginning at the “X”. You may need a paring knife to trim a stubborn spot or two but, basically, that’s all there is to it.  And that’s the last of any possible problems you might run into.

Peach Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds peaches — about 4 large fruit
  • ½ cup water
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅛ tsp cinnamon
  • pinch salt

For Serving

  • 1 peach. peeled & sliced — more depending upon the number of servings
  • sugar
  • toasted chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Once the peaches are peeled, cut each into chunks, removing the pit in the process.
  2. Place the peaches and water into a non-reactive sauce pan and cook over a medium heat until the peaches are soft — about 10 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat, add the sugar, stir well, and set aside to cool.
  4. When the peach mixture has reached room temperature, place it in a food processor or blender, along with the sour cream. whipping cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Purée until blended but still a little chunky.
  5. Place the peaches & cream mixture into the fridge until thoroughly chilled — about 4 hours, more or less depending upon your fridge.
  6. Add the chilled peaches & cream to your ice cream machine and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to create your peach ice cream.

To Serve

Peaches are in season and we shouldn’t let this opportunity slip away. About 45 minutes before you serve your peach ice cream, peel and slice a ripe peach, more depending upon how many servings are to be prepared. Place the slices in a bowl, sprinkle with sugar, stir gently, and set aside. When ready to serve, divide the peach slices and juice among the servings of ice cream. Garnish with toasted chopped pecans.

  1. My mom always stirred a little berry sugar over her fruit just as you did. I had some peaches and now I’m down to 3.. and I can’t bear to eat them because then there won’t be any left. Isn’t that silly? But the Peach Lady’s Daughter at the market here is between crops of peaches and we are gone before she has more. I will definitely try putting some peaches in a bag when I get back to Calgary so that they will ripen up faster. That is also where my ice cream maker is.. oddly enough, it belongs here at the lake where it’s so hot I crave ice cream! That Bombe.. wow!! Spumoni is the best! What a busy birthday month.. and a lucky mom!!

    • You’re at the lake? When I was a boy, this was our family vacation time and we often rented a cabin somewhere along Michigan’s shoreline for a week or two, depending upon Dad’s schedule. Those were special times, all right. Now, how could you leave your ice cream maker at home? Each time I visit Zia in the Summer, I bring my machine because like her sister, my Mom, Zia loves ice cream. I make sure I leave her with a few quarts in her freezer.
      I do wish Mom were here to see how well-received the family’s recipes are. She and Zia never considered themselves to be exceptional cooks, no matter how much I told them otherwise. Mom would be surprised, and then thrilled, to see this blog’s reception. And I’d be pleased to see her get some much-deserved recognition.

When you think of it, for a child, is there anything better than having a Mom that loves ice cream that much?

For me, though, it’s a little harder to resist sampling the peeled peaches, especially once they’re sliced. I find them irresistible.

      The colors of Bella’Roma are so muted and I love the mix of pink and yellow. The pink “arrives” as the bloom opens wider. It’s a beautiful transformation.
      Last year’s Bombe was a real project. That’a a lot of ice cream to make and mold. Then, on the delivery day, it was over 100˚. It was quite literally melting before our eyes. Next time I make a bombe, the party will take place in a walk-in freezer. 🙂

And, Bella’Roma is the only rose I have with any sort of connection to Italy, so, well, there was simply none better to give her today. You see? I really had no choice in any of this. 😉
      That chocolate recipe is a good one and I received a number of compliments from those who’ve had the spumoni. Still, as I mentioned in the post, the favorite of everyone is the blueberry cheesecake ice cream. The pudding mix gives it a great texture & mouth “feel”, while the crumbled graham cracker crust makes you instantly think of cheesecake. It’s been called “crack” ice cream and with good reason. Sill, know your audience. The maraschino ice cream is about as pink as you could want. It’s a big hit with the Barbie set and, I’d imagine, your Granddaughters.

Place the bowl in your freezer for 45 minutes. Take it out, give the mixture a good stir and return it to the freezer. Repeat the process over and over until the cream mixture is nice and thick and then put it back into the freezer until firm. The process will take a few hours but you’ll get a good dish of ice cream. Good luck if you try it! 🙂
