Units
For the brown sugar ice cream:
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 3/4 to 1 cup packed light brown sugar

Instructions
For the brown sugar ice cream:
- Combine milk and cream in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat.
- Meanwhile put brown sugar in a clean saucepan, larger than the one with the milk, and melt over medium heat. It will be grainy at first and will start to come together and deepen in color.
- Be careful not to burn it. When it's a deep brown, which will be a few minutes since it's already brown, remove from heat and add the milk mixture. It will bubble up furiously. Be careful. Use a wooden spoon with a long handle.
- Return to low heat and stir until the caramel is completely melted.
- In a large bowl whisk egg yolks to mix.
- Very slowly add hot caramel mixture, just a bit at a time at first, so you don't curdle the eggs.
- Whisk constantly while adding the rest of the milk mixture and return to the same pan where you made the caramel.
- Cook it over low heat for about 5 minutes, until it starts to thicken. Be careful not to let it boil.
- Transfer to a clean bowl and let it cool to room tº. Cover and refrigerate until very cold.
- Process in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions.
For the caramelized fruit:
- Cut unpeeled peach into chunks. Do the same with the apricots and rinse the blueberries.
- Heat the wok and add the butter. It will brown immediately.
- Add the fruit, sugar and cook, mixing a few times, until it starts to brown and has a bright sheen.
For the assembly:
- Divide fruit between four bowls. Top each with one scoop of ice cream
