Ingredients

  • 2 cups half and half, at room temperature

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 5 egg yolks

  • 2/3 cup, plus 1/4 cup peach jam, divided

Instructions

  1. To a medium saucepan add the half and half and cream. Place over medium low heat and slowly bring to a gentle simmer. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, vanilla, salt, zest and yolks until light, fluffy and pale.

Cook, stirring with a rubber spatula or flat bottom spoon until thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Strain the mixture into a clean bowl and stir in 2/3 cup of the jam. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the base and refrigerate until fully chilled, at least 3 hours.

  2. Freeze the base in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. When frozen to soft serve consistency, remove the gelato to an airtight container and swirl in the remaining
  3. 1/4 cup jam. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, another 2 hours.
