1
Tablespoon Butter  
1/4 Cup Sugar  
Pound Fresh peaches; peeled, pitted, and sliced  
Quart Heavy cream  
Egg yolks; beaten  
/2 Pound Rainier cherries  
Dark rum; to taste  
2
Dozen butter cookies  
In a large saute pan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in 3/4 cup of  
the sugar until it dissolves. Add the peaches and saute for 3 to 4 minutes,  
or until the peaches soften. Remove from the heat and cool completely. In a  
food processor, fitted with a metal blade, puree the peach mixture until  
smooth. In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine the peach mixture  
and heavy cream. Bring the mixture up to a gentle boil. Add 1 cup of the hot  
cream mixture to the beaten yolks and whisk well. Add the yolk mixture back  
to the cream mixture and whisk well. Continue to cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or  
until the mixture can coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat, and  
pour into a glass bowl. Press a piece of plastic wrap to the cream mixture  
(this will prevent a film from forming) and cool completely. Pour the cream  
mixture into a frozen ice−cream cylinder and process according to  
manufacturers directions. In a medium sized bowl, combine the cherries,  
remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and rum (to taste ). Mix well and allow to sit for  
1
0 minutes. To serve, place a couple scoops of ice cream in each serving  
bowl. Spoon the cherries over the ice cream and serve with the butter  
cookies.  
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
