Homemade ice cream was a cool (!) thing to do back in the day, sort of group project with the folks next door and the ice cream bucket and some ingredients. It's lucky that summertime is ice cream time; that's when so many fruits and berries are plentiful.
I'm a Breyer's man, myself; there's nothing like their vanilla ice cream, but I stumbled across a home recipe that you may want to try. Let me know how it comes out and I will come running with my spoon in hand!
This is from the delish website, and they say you don't need tubs and churns and all that. Just get a big mason jar, pour in a cup of heavy cream, 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar, half a teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Tighten the lid and start shaking! The jar, not yourself.
This is a good time to use up the extra energy of people around the house, because you have to shake that jar vigorously for about five minutes. You can take turns, passing the jar around. Maybe someone you know has one of those hardware store paint shakers! But shake like there's no tomorrow for your five minutes.
Once you notice that the mixture is twice the size as when you started the shake, put a wooden spoon in the jar. If it comes out with its back coated, you're good to go! Put the jar in the freezer for about three hours. Just before you do that, add your berries or peach slices and then sit around for three hours anticipating a real treat for yourself.
You earned it, with all that shaking!
