Author Notes:	If the peaches you find are hard and odorless, place them in a paper bag, seal it loosely, and let it sit on your counter for up to 48 hours, until the peaches are soft and fragrant.
Ingredients:	1 pound fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and cut into wedges 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 1/2 cups whole milk 2/3 cup sugar

Place the peaches, lemon juice, and salt in a blender and blend until fairly smooth, scraping down the sides of the canister as necessary. 2. Warm 1 1/2 cups of the milk in a medium saucepan set over low heat. Stir in the sugar until dissolved. Pour into the blender with the peach purée; add the remaining 1 cup of milk. Blend until smooth.
