Wash the peaches under cold water. You can use a vegetable brush to help remove any dirt or debris. Once they are clean, use a peeler to remove the skin.
Step 2: Slice the peaches.
Slice the peaches into thin wedges or slices. The smaller the pieces, the faster they will freeze.
Step 3: Add lemon juice.
In a large bowl, combine the peach slices with 1/4 cup of lemon juice. The lemon juice will help prevent the peaches from browning and will also help preserve their flavor.
Step 4: Transfer the peaches to a freezer-safe container.
Place the peach slices in a freezer-safe container and seal it tightly. Make sure there is enough headspace in the container to allow the peaches to expand as they freeze.
Step 5: Freeze the peaches.
Place the container of peaches on a level surface in your freezer. Freeze for at least 24 hours, or until the peaches are frozen through.
Tips for freezing peaches:
- Use ripe, but not overripe peaches.
- To prevent the peaches from sticking together, place a piece of parchment paper between each layer of slices.
- Label the container with the date so that you know when the peaches were frozen.
- Frozen peaches will last for up to 6 months in your freezer.
How to use frozen peaches:
