Description
Learn how to freeze peaches for long-term storage and enjoy them later.
Ingredients
- 10 peaches
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Wash the peaches.
- Cut into slices. The easiest way to cut a peach is to run a small paring knife all the way around the peach, pull the two halves, then remove the pit. After this, it’s easy to slice.
- Soak the peach slices in a lemon juice bath for 5 minutes (4 cups water + 2 tablespoons lemon juice).
- Drain. Either dump the peaches into a colander or scoop them out with a slotted spoon. Let them sit on a baking sheet propped up on one end to drain more thoroughly.
- Arrange on a large baking sheet.
- Freeze for 4 hours to overnight.
- Transfer to a freezer bag, labeled with the contents and date.
- Freeze for up to 1 year.
Notes
- No peeling is required for this method.
- Label your freezer bags clearly with the contents and date.
