Photo by Sue York/ladailypost.comIngredients:
1 ½ cups sugar
4 cups apricots, peeled and pitted
1 2/3 cups whole milk
2/3 heavy cream
1 tablespoons lemon juice
4 egg yolks
Equipment:
Food processor or blender
Ice cream maker (Freeze the center core of the Ice Cream maker over night to prep it for making the ice cream.)
Directions:
In a large heavy sauce pan, mix together the milk, cream, and sugar. Heat the mixture on low to medium low heat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly. The mixture must be warm, but not scalded. All of the sugar must be dissolved when done cooking. In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks together. Temper the eggs by putting some of the warm milk mixture into the eggs and mixing together.
