One fresh fruit that we are starting to see in the local market is peaches. I love peaches. Our local grocery store sells them by the basket full when they are in season. I always take this opportunity to freeze some for smoothies in the winter. The easiest way to peel peaches is to blanch them. Boil a large pot of water and put the peaches in for about 1 minute. This loosens up the skin and makes it very easy to peel and slice. You can put them directly into quart freezer bags and freeze them. If you are concerned about browning, you can rinse the sliced peaches with an ascorbic acid wash. Lemon juice mixed with water works well or you can look for commercial products that are available in the canning section of your local store. This recipe is another great way to preserve that great peach taste.
