- sugar

Instructions
- Select fine, soft peaches that are perfectly ripe. Peel them and remove the stones, placing them in a China bowl. Sprinkle sugar over the peaches and chop them very small with a silver spoon. If the peaches are sufficiently ripe, they will break down into a smooth pulp. Add an equal volume of cream or rich milk as you have prepared peach pulp, then add more sugar to taste. Freeze the mixture.
