Georgia-Peach Frozen Yogurt

2c = 5± fresh peaches

1T lemon, orange or lime zest

1T lemon, orange or lime juice

½c sugar

1t real vanilla - optional*

2c Oikos Greek yogurt - strained

In previous attempts to make similar desserts I found what didn't get eaten right away (which isn't much) froze rock-hard. Too much liquid in the mix? I then thought, if I strained the liquid out of the yogurt, the problem could be resolved. In checking others' attempts at this I have found a few who also strain. I'm hoping this will create the consistency I'm going for.

Chop or 'process' rough-peeled peaches as much, or little, as you want – smooth or chunky. Put in a medium size bowl. Add zest and juice then stir in the sugar and vanilla*. Let stand on counter, or in the 'fridge, a couple hours.

Put the yogurt in a cheesecloth lined colander over another bowl while the fruit and citrus help the sugar dissolve. When yogurt seems thicker and enough water has drained from it, also give this a couple hours, stir into the fruit mix. When combined, freeze to ice cream consistency, serve or cover and return to freezer for later.
