How to Freeze Peaches: The Quick and Easy Way!

It's that time of year! Peach harvest season! You can't possibly eat all of the peaches you harvest fresh, they go bad so easily! Here's how we store and preserve our peaches:
Step 1: Harvest your peaches! You know they are ready when they get their red color, have a little softness to them, and if the birds start to visit your trees, your peaches are probably ready!

Step 2: Put an X in each peach
Step 3: Boil a large pot of water and then place peaches in the hot water for 1-2 minutes. This is called blanching!
Step 4: Place the blanched peaches in an ice bath and let cool. This hot and cold process will help the skins of the peaches fall right off!
Step 5: Remove the peach skins and pits.
Step 6: Slice your peaches.
Step 7: Add a little sugar and then let the sliced peaches sit for a few minutes and get juicy!
Step 8: Place peaches in freezer containers or freezer bags. Place in the freezer and get ready to enjoy those yummy peaches!
