This is another GREAT ice-cream recipe for adults only, because, hey, we deserve a treat once in awhile, right?
Made with fresh peaches and bourbon, brown sugar candied pecans, the taste is sensational.

2 cups organic heavy cream
1 1/3 cups sugar
3 egg yolks, use farm fresh eggs
4 tbls. butter
3/4 cup pecan pieces

Method
In a large mixing bowl, beat egg yolks; add 1/2 and 1/2 and sugar and mix. Stir in heavy cream. Add vanilla paste and mix thoroughly. Pour mixture into a sauce pan and cook over medium low heat until it becomes a thin custard consistency. Cool completely.
In a small sauce pan add butter, brown sugar, pecans and bourbon. Heat stirring constantly until about 200 degrees. Immediately strain mixture through a mesh colander, reserving pecans. Add the strained liquid to the cooled base and mix thoroughly. Churn mixture in ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's directions.
Just before it's finished churning, pour in the peaches and pecans. Once done, store in ice-cream containers in your freezer until set.
