This method is based on assorted recipes online, and a desire for simplicity. It worked, so I'm noting it down for future reference.

Peaches (I wound up using two large peaches)
1 cup milk
3/4 cup sugar
A little vanilla extract
A little lemon juice (unmeasured, probably around an eighth of a teaspoon each)
2 cups heavy cream

Scald peaches in boiling water for one minute, then transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool/stop cooking. Peel the peaches and dice small, so you've got something like a chunky peach puree. Stop when you've got about a cup of puree. This used two large peaches, minus a few bruised bits. (I misestimated badly, and put extra slightly cooked peaches in the refrigerator; they work okay in plain yogurt.)

Beat the milk, sugar, peach puree, vanilla extract, and lemon juice together with an electric mixer, on a low setting (mine goes from 1 to 5, I set it at 2), until the sugar is dissolved.

Add the cream and mix it in. At this point the bowl was full enough that using the electric mixer led to cream spattering the area, so I just stirred it in with a spoon.

Pour into the ice cream maker, let it run until done, and transfer to containers to go in the freezer.
