Peach Ice-cream!

So lately,  in my anxiousness for summer I've been reading about the proper ways to make ice-cream.  I have several different flavors I plan to work on: Peach, Coffee, Vanilla, Chocolate, Vanilla blueberry, Strawberry and Cheesecake.    I'd like to have at least four of these perfected by summer.   Now this is a new endeavor for me  -  So I've so far only worked on one flavor,  Peach.   Which if I may say so, turned out pretty amazing for my first try.     The only "side notes" and "adjustments" I will do to my recipe is 1/3 cup less sugar, and upon churning I will only churn half of the batch at a time.     Allowing the finished product to come out smoother and firmer then without being flakey and frosty-like, but also not like a milk shake.    Doing smaller batches at a time has really helped that.   I've also found that other sweeteners such as stevia are also quite possible options in ice-cream making.   Of course,   taking the different amounts of stevia vs sugar into consideration is important.   As one cup of sugar in ratio of sweetness that it will have on the dish would be equivalent to around 1 1/2 tb of stevia powder.  - Wednesday I plan to buy some more heavy cream and such and try a coffee ice-cream.     Until then: here is a picture of my peach ice-cream.   I'd be happy to share my recipe if anyone would like it.  :-)
