Instructions
Peeler Method
To peel using a vegetable peeler, wash your peaches.
Peel the peaches as you would a potato. If they are a little firm and a touch under ripe, this will be easy.
If the peaches are soft and very ripe, rock the peeler back and forth in a sawing motion as you peel to help guide it through the skin.
Cut and use peaches as needed for your recipe.
Boiling Method
Get a large pot half full of water boiling on the stove.
Fill a large bowl with a lot of ice and water to make an ice bath.
Cut an "x" in the bottom of the peaches, with the cuts being one to two inch long.
Place the peaches in the boiling water and let soak for approximately 30 seconds.
Remove from the water and place immediately into the ice bath.
Wait until the peaches are cool to the touch and peel from the "x". Use as needed for your recipe.
Microwave Method
Fill a large bowl with a lot of ice and water to make an ice bath.
Cut an "x" in the bottom of the peaches, with the cuts being one to two inch long.
Place the peaches in a bowl and microwave for approximately 30 seconds. You can do multiple peaches at a time, but will likely need to increase the time you microwave them when you get beyond 8 peaches.
Remove from the microwave and place immediately into the ice bath.
Wait until the peaches are cool to the touch and peel from the "x". Use as needed for your recipe.
