• In a saucepan combine 3/4 cup sugar, heavy cream, milk and vanilla. Bring just to a boil.
• In bowl whisk egg yolks. While whisking stream in about 1/3 of the boiled cream mixture. While whisking cream and sugar mixture, stream in egg and cream mixture. Return to the heat and continue to heat while stirring. Mixture will thicken as it returns to a boil. Remove from heat and strain into a bowl set over ice. Add the reserved peach juice.

• Pour mixture into freezer canister of ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat cream and milk over medium-high until tiny bubbles begin to form around edges of pan, 2 to 3 minutes.
• While milk mixture heats, vigorously whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until very thick and pale in color, about 2 minutes. Slowly add hot milk mixture to egg-yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return mixture to saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until foam subsides and mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl set in an ice bath. Let cool while cooking peaches.
• In a medium skillet, heat peaches and 2 tablespoons water over medium-high. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until peaches are softened, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Carefully transfer peaches and any accumulated juices to a blender and puree until smooth. You should have about 1 1/2 cups.
• Stir peach puree, lemon juice, and vanilla into cooled custard. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours.
• Process mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Serve immediately, or transfer to a loaf pan and freeze, wrapped in plastic, up to 1 week. Let soften at room temperature 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Generously butter the cut portion of each peach half and place cut-side down into a baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until mostly cooked and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Turn peaches over with a spatula and sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon into the juicy halves.
• Cover the pan with foil and continue to bake until peaches are fully cooked and sugar is mixed with butter and juices form a caramel in the pan, about 15 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat milk and split vanilla bean in a large pan over medium heat, stirring to avoid any burning. Keep at a low simmer.
• Whisk together egg yolks, white sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract in a bowl until well combined.
• When peaches are done, remove skins (and eat them, they're delicious!). Add peeled peaches and all the caramelized juices into the hot milk. Stir to combine and simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Remove vanilla bean and scrape the seeds into the hot milk.
• Use an immersion blender to puree the peaches and the milk. Be careful as the mixture is really hot.
• Slowly whisk 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Add more hot milk slowly to temper the mixture.
• Remove milk from heat and allow to cool to 170 degrees F (76 degrees C). Whisk in egg yolk mixture and return to low heat, whisking constantly, until a custard forms, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Strain custard through a sieve. Mixture will be really thick, so working it through with a silicone spatula can take up to 10 minutes as you press and stir.
• Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
