Peeling Peaches Easily and Quickly

How to Peel Peaches the Best Way -

Peeling Peaches Made Easy!

Some varieties of peaches are easy to peel, and are easy to pull off of the pit. Other varieties however, are difficult and messy to peel with a knife.

Using a technique called "blanching", you can easily peel the skin off of the peach.

This is a great method to use when preserving peaches by canning or freezing peaches, or to use when making peach jam or jelly.

Here are Step-by-Step Instructions, (with pictures), for removing the skin from a peach easily, using the blanching method.

Obviously, you will most likely be using more than one peach for this process!

Step 4

Using a slotted spoon, remove the peach from the boiling water, and immediately place it in the bowl of ice water, and leave it there for about 20 - 30 seconds. (This process stops the fruit from actually cooking).

Step 5

Remove the peach from the ice water and gently cut the peel of the peach off using a paring knife.
