Peel and pit the peaches, then chop them into small pieces.
Place the chopped peaches, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften and release their juices. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Using a blender or food processor, puree the cooked peaches until smooth. Chill the puree in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract.
Add the heavy cream and whole milk to the bowl, and whisk until the sugars are fully dissolved.
Stir in the chilled peach puree, blending everything into a smooth mixture.
Cover and refrigerate the ice cream base for 2-3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically 20-25 minutes).
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Serve and enjoy the sweet, fruity flavors of your homemade Brown Sugar Peach Ice Cream!
