Peach Ice Cream

Nothing says summer in the South like homemade peach ice cream.

I don't own an ice cream maker myself, nor would I buy peach ice cream if they sold it at the grocery store. So, when I come across the real thing, I can't help but indulge.

Such was the case a couple weekends back, when we left South Mountains State Park after a quick hike and swim. The roadside "Homemade Ice Cream" sign at Redbone Willy's was like a beacon. Only two of their many flavors that day were homemade. The first was peach, and that was all I needed to know. We got our cones, and savored all but the last bite while sitting in the rocking chairs on the front porch. (The last bite went to Zoe, our always-hungry canine companion.)
