You know the peaches that you buy, with high hopes that they will ripen a little more and be the perfect, juicy, sweet peach? Well, I had those hopes, but these failed my expectations! I watched them go from almost ripe to starting to shrivel. They were not really sweet enough to eat on their own, but had a mild peach flavor. They did not peel easily or separate from the pit well, so I assume they were just picked too early. I peeled and cut them the best I could. I used the same gelato recipe that I have used for strawberry and made a peach gelato. With the sugar, the flavor was quite nice. It still lacked the perfect juicy peach flavor, but was good. I used 2% milk instead of whipping cream, so the gelato was much lighter. The lower fat content of the milk did not take away from the gelato flavor or composition.
I am keeping my eye out for some perfect peaches, to try a few more peachy desserts and maybe can some. When I was a kid, we would go to the peach orchard and buy the peaches - they were sooooo good. Now, it is just a gamble at the store or fruit market, but I will keep trying!
