Remember when we had those gorgeous nectarines a while back?\u00a0 And remember how it was National Ice Cream Day on Sunday?\u00a0 No?\u00a0 Well, anyway, both of those things happened, and made this delicious masterpiece:\"Nectarine<\/a><\/p>\n

Behold, nectarine ice cream!\u00a0 To be honest, it tasted more like frozen yogurt, but it was delicious and terribly easy to make.\u00a0 I didn’t make it in the traditional way you make ice cream, but using a quicker, simpler technique that produces a result so good it shouldn’t even be legal.\u00a0 Look at how rich and smooth it is…<\/p>\n

\"Ice<\/a><\/p>\n

To make this ice cream, freeze about 5 or 6 nectarines with the skin still on.\u00a0 (This is also nice because you can make the ice cream long after the other nectarines have gone bad sitting on the counter)\u00a0 Once the nectarines are completely frozen, remove them from the freezer and peel them by running them under lukewarm water and sliding the skin off.\u00a0 If they’re truly frozen, the skin should slide right off.\u00a0 After peeling the nectarines, cut them into medium-sized chunks, discarding the pits.\u00a0 Beware, though, the frozen nectarines are super cold and difficult to hold while you’re cutting them, so take frequent breaks and warm your hands by dipping them in a bowl of warm water or under the tap if you’d like.\u00a0 As you cut them, transfer the pieces to a food processor.\u00a0 If they have substantially defrosted, you might want to put them back into the freezer until they are more solid.
\nNext, pulse the nectarines in the food processor while adding a half pint of cream and sugar to taste.\u00a0 I used about 3\/4 cup of sugar, but more or less can be used depending on what you like.\u00a0 They should be added slowly, and the food processor should be checked every so often to make sure that it’s not clogged with frozen nectarines.\u00a0 Once they look like a sludgy paste, put the mixture into the freezer; you’re done.<\/p>\n

Really, that’s it.\u00a0 No churning or cranking.\u00a0 No fancy ice cream maker or salts are necessary.\u00a0 Most importantly, I didn’t use ice at any point during the process, which is a huge plus for someone whose machine occasionally makes ice streaked with rusty water…<\/p>\n

Anyway, happy nectarine season!\u00a0 Enjoy your summer treat!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
