Old-fashioned Homemade Peach Ice Cream image

This recipe was given to me by my Aunt Helen,she has been making ice cream this way for 60 years or more. Of course then they went to the milk house for the cream. I added the peaches. As far as the fact that it contains raw eggs- I just don't worry about it. The ice cream is worth the risk.

Churn the ice cream until it is thick and creamy: Don't over-churn the ice cream, or it will become grainy. Churn it until it is thick and creamy, but still soft enough to scoop.
