Submitted by Arleen Johnson

The Old-Fashioned Way 
Pare, slice, and mash 4 pounds of fresh ripe peaches or apricots
Stir in ½ cup sugar and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
Cover the fruit and permit them to stand until the sugar is dissolved.
Combine 1 teaspoon vanilla, ½ cup sugar, and quart (4 cups) cream; partly freeze.
When half frozen, add the peach mixture and finish freezing the cream.
 

The New-Fashioned Way  
Run the sliced fruit, sugar, and salt through a blender until smooth and sugar is dissolved. In a large bowl, stir in milk and cream. Since the fruit varies in sweetness, you can taste it before freezing and correct. 
Then, use the directions for the modern freezing method of your choice. 
Makes about 1 ½ quarts
