Homemade Peach Ice Cream

This is the first homemade ice cream recipe I have ever made using an electric home ice cream maker. I decided on a fruit ice cream and used peaches, basically following the fruit ice cream recipe that came with the Cuisinart Pure Indulgence® Ice Cream-Frozen Yogurt & Sorbet Maker that we just purchased. It was heaven paired with an incredible poundcake!
