Freezing Peaches

We know you love to buy bushels of our tree-ripe peaches for eating all winter. Here's an easy way to freeze peaches. Another way to get your peach-fix in the winter is to buy our tasty peach jams and cherry jam, which make great gifts, too.

  1. Peel peaches with pairing knife or blanch peach in boiling water to remove skin.
  2. Remove pit and dice peach into large to medium chunks, (not too small).
  3. You will need about one quart of peaches in a ½ gallon pitcher (1/2 full).
  4. Mix one cup of sugar, or less if you desire, with one teaspoon Everfresh or other non-browning agent (Some people use orange juice concentrate or lemon juice.).
  5. Pour sugar mixture into pitcher with peaches and put on lid. Carefully tip pitcher back and forth to mix sugar with peaches.
  6. Pour peaches and syrup into 1 quart plastic ziplock freezer bag and seal.
  7. Put peaches in freezer.
  8. Partially thaw peaches when ready to eat. Don’t let them thaw all the way or they will be too soft. Enjoy!
