Favorite Peach Slush

A friend gave me this recipe many years ago. It just wouldn't be summer without making a batch of this when the peaches are ripe. This makes a 5 quart (ice cream pail) full of summer goodness and will keep indefinitely. I have made this in the summer and still had some at Christmas, although most of the time it doesn't last that long! Note: Cooking time is freezing time.

• Ready In: 24 hrs 20 mins

• 8  fresh peaches, washed and coarsely chopped
