2 1/2 pounds ripe white peaches, peeled
Juice of 1 lemon (2 to 3 tablespoons)
1/2 to 1 cup sugar
2 sprigs fresh lavender, peppermint, or bush basil (optional)

  • Coarsely chop peaches, and place them in a large bowl. Crush with your hands or a potato masher until only very small pieces remain. Stir in lemon juice, sugar, and herbs if desired. Cover, and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, 1 hour. Stir in vodka, then the cream. Discard herbs.
