Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh apricots plus 3 or 4 more for chopping and adding at the end

- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)

Instructions
- Halve the pound of apricots and give them a rough chop. Put them in the bowl of a food processor, add the lemon juice, and process until you have a smooth puree. Pulse the machine and scrape down the sides as necessary. Give the extra 3 or 4 apricots a rough chop and set aside. You will add them into the ice cream later.
- Add the sugar to the cream and milk, and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. This will take a couple of minutes. Stir until you feel no more grains of sugar left.
- Combine the apricot puree and the cream mixture. Whisk until it is competely mixed. Refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours.
- Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and run according to your machine’s directions. When the ice cream is thick and almost done, add in the reserved chopped apricot chunks, and let the machine run until they are well incorporated.
- When the ice cream is done, it will be very soft. You can eat it as is, or put it in the freezer to firm up. Take it out of the freezer 15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften enough to scoop.
Notes
- Like any fresh fruit ice cream, this one is best served on the soft side. The heavy amount of apricots means that it will be slightly icy when it gets rock hard. (There is a lot of water in fresh fruit which contributes to the icy texture) Eat it within a few hours of being made, or let it sit out for a bit before scooping. This is quite tart, which I like. If you don't like that you can omit the lemon juice.
