When we got married, one of the first things on our registery was a Cusinart ice cream maker- the one with the dual cannisters so you can make 2 quarts at once. It’s been one of my favorite (and my husband’s) gift. There’s nothing like good homemade ice cream to celebrate summer.
This week’s recipe for Honey-Peach Ice Cream was chosen by Brown Interior. I’ll admit that while I was excited to make ice cream, I wasn’t excited about the honey part. Just about the only thing I like honey on is toast with peanut butter. But I decided that I should stick somewhat to the recipe. Since we didn’t have peaches and I didn’t plan far enough in advance to buy them in time for them to ripen, I used cherries.
The cherries were boiled with honey until soft then pureed for the custard.
The ice cream was pretty heavy on the honey flavor. I think if I ever made this again, I would cut way back on the honey. Or omit it completely because the custard mixture made the ice cream really creamy and rich.

What a beautiful color! I love cherries so this is something I want to try (with less honey!)
Oh man, I wish I had the dual canister one! You are so lucky! That ice cream looks great – I love the honey cherry combo!
Sorry, that last comment was me, from Spork or Foon!
Your cherries look beautiful! And I agree with you — there is nothing quite like homemade ice cream!! i never buy ice cream anymore because it's so easy to make.
Mmmmm… I wondered if anyone would try that combination. Now I want to!
Honey cherry ice cream looks wonderful. The ice cream maker was the one registry item I've used the most.
