**Prepare the Peach Base:** In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped Jersey peaches, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
**Create the Ice Cream Custard:** In a saucepan, gently heat the Jersey milk over medium heat until it is steaming but not boiling. Remove from heat and whisk in the peach puree. Allow to cool slightly.
**Incorporate the Clotted Cream:** Gently fold in the Jersey clotted cream into the cooled milk and peach mixture. Do not overmix, as you want to maintain some texture from the clotted cream.
**Make the Black Butter Swirl:** In a separate saucepan over medium heat, melt the Jersey butter. Continue to cook, swirling occasionally, until the butter browns and emits a nutty aroma. This will take approximately 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
**Add Black Butter flavor**: Stir in the brown sugar, grated Jersey Royal potatoes, cider vinegar and cinnamon (if using) into the browned butter. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is thickened slightly. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
**Churn the Ice Cream:** If using an ice cream maker, pour the peach and clotted cream mixture into the machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes around 20-30 minutes.
**Freeze (if not using Ice Cream Maker):** If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for 2-3 hours, then take it out and use a fork to break up any ice crystals. Return to the freezer and repeat this process every 30-60 minutes for a total of 2-3 times. This will help prevent large ice crystals from forming, resulting in a smoother ice cream.
**Swirl in the Black Butter:** Once the ice cream is churned or has achieved a soft-serve consistency after the initial freezing, gently swirl in the cooled black butter throughout. Do not completely incorporate it; you want ribbons of black butter.
**Final Freeze:** Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to fully harden.
**Serve:** Scoop the ice cream into bowls and enjoy the delightful combination of Jersey flavors!
Nutrition per serving (165g)
For a smoother ice cream, strain the peach puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any fibrous bits.
Be careful not to overcook the black butter, as it can become bitter. Keep a close eye on it while it's browning.
If you don't have access to Jersey Royal potatoes, substitute with another variety, but the flavor will be slightly different.
For a less sweet ice cream, reduce the amount of granulated sugar. You can also use honey or maple syrup as an alternative sweetener.
To enhance the Jersey peach flavor, consider macerating the chopped peaches with the sugar and lemon juice for about 30 minutes before blending. This will help draw out their natural juices.
