4 large overripe peaches I place peaches in a brown bag for several days to coax ripening, turning them daily
2 pints quality vanilla ice cream, softened
½ cup whole milk
1 teaspoon quality vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon pure almond extract
pinch Kosher salt
whipped cream, cherries, or peach wedges for garnish

Prepare a sheet pan large/small enough to fit into your freezer with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large pot over high heat, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. While waiting for the water to boil, fill a large bowl with ice cubes and water.
Once the water has come to a boil, turn off the heat. Plunge the peaches into the boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes before removing with a large slotted spoon and plunging into the ice water bath.
Using a sharp paring knife, cut the peaches in half and remove the stone. At this point, the skins should be readily peel-able. Use the paring knife to start if necessary.
Cut the peeled and stoned peach halves into wedges and place on the prepared parchment-lined sheet. Place into freezer for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Place all ingredients into a blender with frozen peach slices and blend for 1 minutes or until thick.
Pour into 4 glasses. Top with whipped cream, and if desired, cherries. I opted for additional peach wedges :-)
