FOR PEACH AND BROWN SUGAR IC
Working over a bowl pit the cherries, discarding the pits and reserving the
cherries and any juices in the bowl, and into the cherries stir the
cornstarch, 2/3 cups of the sugar, the lemon juice, and almond extract. In
a small bowl stir together the flour, the baking powder, the salt, the
remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and the butter, blend the mixture until it
resembles coarse meal, and stir in 1/4 cup boiling water, stirring until
the batter is just combined. In an 8-inch cast-iron skillet or flameproof
baking dish bring the cherry mixture to a boil, drop the batter by heaping
tablespoons onto it, and bake the cobbler in the middle of a preheated
350F. oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden. Serve the
cobbler with the ice cream.
Make Peach and Brown Sugar Ice Cream:
In a saucepan combine the peaches, the granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup water
and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes, or
until the peaches are soft. Puree the mixture in a food processor or
blender, force the puree through a fine sieve into a bowl, and let it cool.
In the pan, cleaned, cook the brown sugar with 1/4 cup water over
moderately low heat, stirring, until it is dissolved. In a large bowl with
an electric mixer beat the yolks and the whole egg until they are frothy,
beat in the brown sugar syrup, and beat the mixture until it is thick and
pale. Stir in the half-and-half, scalded, pour the mixture into the pan and
cook it over moderately low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, to 175F. on
a candy thermometer. Strain the custard through the fine sieve into another
large bowl, let it cool, and stir in the peach puree, the cinnamon, the
nutmeg, and the peach schnapps. Freeze the mixture in an ice-cream freezer
according to the manufacturer's instructions. Makes about 1 quart.
