Man, I get hearts in my eyes just looking back at these photos. Now I know everyone is all pumpkin this and apple that lately, but I’m still holding onto the last bit of summer! Labor Day weekend I visited my family in North Carolina – which feels a heck of a lot more like summer than Chicago! We went to the mountains to get fresh peaches from the cutest farm, and with it we made sangria AND this homemade peach sauce.

If you’ve never tasted the magic of homemade ice cream in an ice cream maker, you’re seriously missing out. Imagine that store bought stuff taken to like the thousandth degree of deliciousness. After tasting homemade vanilla ice cream, I’ve become a total ice cream snob – the kind from the grocery store just doesn’t do it for me anymore. Trust me when I say, this stuff is worth the effort. It’s creamy, smooth, full of vanilla flavor, and absolutely delicious.

Mmmmm. I like this ice cream so much I could marry it.

Then there’s the homemade peach sauce. If homemade vanilla ice cream were Jay-Z, this peach sauce is Beyonce. (Yes, I still do believe they’re perfect for each other and madly in love. Nobody can ruin it for me).

Fresh peaches are combined with just a few other ingredients to make a sweet sauce your taste buds will thank you for.Okay, let’s talk about how to make it. This was a collaborative effort between my mom, my sister, and I. And by that I mean they made it and I sat back and took pictures of them and giggled. We followed The Pioneer Woman’s recipe for Cinnamon Ice Cream, but left out the cinnamon and made a few minor adjustments. Note: this would be AWESOME with the cinnamon, but we decided to keep it plain.

Oh and the part about using a mesh strainer … if you don’t have a mesh strainer, you could use our resourceful method of a cheese cloth + tongs (not recommended). Haha I just love family time, don’t you?
