Tips for Cooking with Peaches

"When choosing peaches, be sure that they do not have any green on the skin—this means the fruit hadn't developed before being picked." – patreesha

"I used fresh peaches and left the skins on for simplicity. They were barely noticeable the first night, but when I ate the leftovers they were kind of chewy and annoying." – blessedmommy

"To remove the skin from peaches try blanching them; 30-45 seconds in boiling hot water taken off the heat followed by 15 seconds in an ice bath (to keep the peach from continuing to cook)." – Molly

"If you don't have flavorful, in-season peaches then go with frozen peaches—they are better than tasteless, grainy, fresh ones." – ripple2
