How do you produce peaches?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mature peaches (those that aren't hard or green) will continue to ripen after they are picked. Set them stem-side down not touching one another. If your peaches are perfectly ripe but you aren't quite ready to eat them, store them in the refridgerator. The cold will radically slow down their ripening. Check chilled peaches frequently, because the cold air in the refrigerator is dehydrating, so eat them before their skin wrinkles, which is a sign of both drying and over-ripening.

If your peaches need a bit more ripening, keep them on the kitchen counter. Put peaches that are still quite firm in a paper bag - it will capture the ethylene gas they give off and speed ripening. You can add a banana - the riper the better - or an apple or pear to the bag. These fruits give off even more ethylene than peaches and will hasten the ripening of the peaches. If you keep peaches on the counter or used the paper bag method, check them frequently. When any peach is ripe, be sure to eat it or move it to the fridge until you're ready to eat it so it doesn't go from ripe to rotten. In all cases, peaches need to breathe, so paper bags or no bags are your best bet. Just remember, the paper bag will hasten their ripening unless you put it in the fridge.

If you can't eat all the peaches at hand quickly enough, you can freeze them. Frozen peaches are delicious in baked goods, smoothies, and ice cream. Prepare the peaches for freezing by peeling and slicing them. Lay the peeled peach slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. If you want to minimize clean-up, go ahead and line the baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper first. Set the baking sheet in a freezer until peaches are frozen through, at least four hours and up to overnight. Transfer the frozen peach slices to a resealable container, seal (pushing out as much air as possible), and return the peaches to the freezer until you're ready to use them. Frozen peaches will keep up to 6 months in a refrigerator-freezer combo and up to 12 months in a stand-alone freezer.
