We enjoyed our second batch of peach ice kefir tonight. Peaches are at their peak here now so we have taken advantage of the bounty. This (and all ice cream) is really easy to make. The trick is to add A LOT of salt. It freezes up in no time if you use a whole box of salt. We use the cheapest table salt we can find which always turns out to be less expensive than ice cream salt.??? If you don't like kefir, I think plain yoghurt would work well too. If you'd like to make kefir and need some kefir starter "grains," let me know so that I can send you some. We use goat milk and goat milk kefir.
Peach Ice Kefir
1/2 c. honey
2 eggs
4 egg yolks
2 quarts kefir
4 ripe peaches
~2 quarts milk
ice
salt
Beat honey, eggs, and egg yolks. Mix in kefir a little at at time. (This helps get the mixture homgenous more easily.) Wash, peal, and chop peaches. Stir them into mixture. Add enough milk to bring mixture to the fill line of a 1 gallon ice cream freezer. Mix well, and freeze. Don't forget to use lots of salt. It really does go quickly (less than 1/2 hour) if you use enough salt.
