peaches
Instructions
Place 3-4 peaches in a pot of boiling water for 30-60 seconds
Remove peaches and place in ice water
Slip peel off with your hands or a pairing knife
Slice each peach in half and remove the pit
Slice each half into wedges or dice into large chunks
Place peaches on a baking sheet lined with a silicone, baking sheet, parchment paper or waxed paper
Place baking sheet lined with peaches in freezer
Leave until peaches are fully frozen
Remove peach slices from baking sheet and place in a freezer bag or containerLabel and date bag and store in deep freezer
Notes
Use ripe peaches free from blemishes and bruises
If the peel doesn't slip easily from the peach, place back in the boiling water for another 30 seconds
Freestone peaches are the easiest peach to remove the pit because the flesh doesn't stick to the pit
Work with as many peaches as you have available and as much freezer space as you have available
