Today is a double treat day! It’s National Peach Ice Cream Day AND National Ice Cream Day.What a delicious day it is. I live in the Peach State so you know I’m making Peach Ice Cream! Recently I visited Community Farmers Market at Ponce City Market to pick up a few things. Guess what I got!!! Peaches!! Yes! I stopped by the Pearson Farm stand to pick up a bag of their delicious peaches. These peaches are the best!
I’ve been kind of plotting on this day for awhile and it’s finally here! And I finally get to use my ice cream maker! This recipe is super easy to make. I promise you won’t buy another carton of ice cream from the store again. It’s that good.
