By Edna Booker


If you like, the taste of a peach you can harvest some during the summer and preserve them for the cold season. Your kids will enjoy this sweet taste even during its offseason. At this period, they are readily available at the malls and markets. Pick them when they are ripe and slice them into small spaces. The outline below is simple methods on how to freeze peaches.

To preserve their flavor buy ripe ones during their season. Freezing them in a syrup solution is highly recommended. They will retain their taste for a long period. The fruits will also remain useful to the body. You can also decide to wrap them in the newspaper without slicing them. This will also prolong their life span.

If you are to use these pieces in canning or baking then you, need to boil them in water. Boil water in a large container using a slotted spoon lower the pieces of the peach into the boiling water for 40 minutes. Make smaller pieces before boiling them. This helps in to boiling them fast as they are in smaller.

Avoid using many pieces to avoid smashing them during the boiling. Use a large pot for the boiling to avoid smashing them. You can use five peaches. Add lemon juice and pure sugar cane into the boiling water with the pieces. Make the measurements just enough for your procedure. The sugar and lemon juice helps the pearls from drying out. They also help in oxidizing while in the freezer.

Put the piece inside the bags for putting them in a freezer after tossing them with lemon juice and sugar. You can use a cup to put them to a vacuum bag. Label each bag with the dates and measurements of the pieces in it. Use 8 cups of peaches for each bag.

Cut each in four pieces at the top using a sharp knife. The next step is skinning it. Using the pieces is easier to skin it than when skinning it when it is whole. This follows after blanching is done. The enzymes and cells are already dead, so no life is taking place in the fruitlet. They are good to last for long without going bad. You, however, need to finish the process to ensure they are fully enabled to last long.

Use a slotted spoon to deep them in boiling water. Blanch them in pieces of four. Make sure you do not break them. Leave them for 40 minutes in the boiling water. This time is enough to kill all the alive cells and enzymes. Lower them while the water is still boiling.

After this, transfer them into the ice water to cool them. Again, use the slotted water. Transfer them directly from the boiling water. Continue the process until all are cooled and blanched. If you are unable to perform this process, consider seeking assistance from the specialist who deals with these fruits.
