One of my favorite cookbooks is this one by David Lebovitz, especially during the summer months when keeping cool is a priority.  I highly recommend it.

perfect scoop 

Arkansas is home to some mighty fine peaches.  I look forward to the fresh harvest of those and will use them to make this really tasty frozen yogurt from Lebovitz’s book.

Peach Frozen Yogurt

1 1/2 pounds fresh, ripe peaches (about 5 large)
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
A few drops freshly squeezed lemon juice

Peel the peaches, slice them in half, and remove the pits.  Cut the peaches into chunks and cook them with the water in a medium, nonreactive saucepan over medium heat, covered, stirring occasionally until soft and cooked through, about 10 minutes.  Remove from the heat, stir in the sugar, then chill in the refrigerator.
When the peaches are cool, puree them in a food processor or blender with the yogurt until almost smooth but slightly chunky.  Mix in a few drops of the lemon juice.
Freeze the mixture in your ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Makes about 3 cups.
