LOOKING for: Peach Desserts

The home grown peaches are here en masse - we're forgetting about our diets for a week or so -- do you have any good peach dessert recipes?

    You're so lucky!
    SINFULLY SCRUMPTIOUS ICE CREAM
    4 cups + 3/4 cup heavy cream
    3/4 cup milk
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    1/2 tsp salt
    8 egg yoks, well bezten
    4 cups mashed peaches or stawberries (I've used frozen)
    Scald the 3/4 cup cream with the milk in the top of a double boiler over direct heat. Add the sugar & salt. Pour a small amount of the milk mixture into the beaten yolks. Add the yolks to the milk mixture & over simmering water cook until thickened to a custard consistency (coating the back of a spoon.) Remove from the heat & cool. Mix the mashed fruit with the remaining 4 cups cream. Blend into the cooled custard.
    If using a manual freezer, fill container 3/4 full. Pack ice & rock salt around the edges, using 3 parts ice to 1 part salt. When the crank gets too hard to turn & the ingredients have solidified to a soft ice cream stage, remove the dasher & pack down the ice cream. Repack fresh ice & salt around the sides, wrap in burlap or newspaper & let stand 1 hour. Freeze in paper cartons. For an electric ice cream freezer, follow the manufacturer's directions.~~

    1 to 1 1/2 cups sugar
    2 TBL flour
    1 egg
    1/2 cup butter, melted

    Place peaches in an 8" square baking dish coated w/Pam. Cut each slice of bread into 5 long strips & palce evenly over fruit. In a bowl, combine sugar, flour, egg & melted butter. Pour over fruit & bread. Bake in a preheated 350° for 35 minutes or until golden brown. (Butter & sugar caramelize over bread strips & you won't know it's bread.)~~Food for Thought

    BUTTERMILK PEACH PIE
    Pie crusts for 2 crust 9" pie

    2 eggs

    Prepare pie crusts using a 9" deep dish pie plate. Combine sugar & flour in a large bowl; mix well. Stir in eggs, buttermilk, butter & vanilla. Add peaches, stirring well. Cover top of pie with remaining pie crust, fold edges under & flute (cut a few vent holes in top.)** Bake in a preheated 400° oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° & bake an additional 45-50 minutes or until crust is browned.~~And Roses for the Table
    **Can also cut the top crust into 1/2" wide strips & make a lattice design on the top of the pie.
