- Grind the almonds in a blender or possibly food processor, then place them in a saucepan with the half-and-half. Heat to just under a boil, turn off the heat and let sit for 30 min. Strain the mix through a very fine strainer or possibly cheesecloth. Return the mix to a clean saucepan. If using extract, add in it to the custard after it's been cooked with the Large eggs.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the sugar and egg yolks together till thick and lemon-colored. With a whisk, mix the yolk and sugar mix into the half-and-half. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, till custard coats a spoon, 10 to 15 min.
- Refrigeratefor 1 hour, add in the almond extract and freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Serve this ice cream with cherries, peaches, nectarines or possibly apricots.
