Equipment

  • Large pot
  • slotted spoon
  • Bowl
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • Peaches ripened
  • Water
  • Ice

Instructions
 

  • Boil a pot of water, large enough to submerge several peaches.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer. Lower peaches into the water and let them blanch/soak for about 30 seconds.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the peaches from the pot, into a bowl full of ice water to cool.
  • Once cooled, the peach skin should be very easy to pull away gently with your hands. You may use a knife to make a slit in the skin, if needed.
  • Starting at the stem, run a knife vertically around the outside of the peach. Carefully twist and pull the sides apart from one another and remove the pit.
