Frequently asked questions
Boil the peaches for 45 seconds each. You can add them to a pan of boiling water in batches of 2 or 3. Remove them to a bowl of ice water. Use a slotted spoon to place the peaches into the ice water. This cools them so you can easily handle them. Remove the peel with your fingers. Use a knife to get it started by making a shallow slice just into the skin. Then use your fingers to pull off the skin in sheets!
I grew up watching my mom do this for her famous fresh peach pie. It works like a charm!
Place the peaches in a paper bag. Leave space between each peach. Add a banana inside the bag. The banana emits ethylene gas, which helps the peaches ripen quicker. Gently fold over the top of the bag. This traps the gasses inside. Wait for 1 to 4 days, checking the ripeness each day. The time to ripen depends on the type of peach and how ripe it was when you purchased it.
