Peeling Peaches



I bought a couple of white peaches yesterday, just because I wanted to eat more fresh fruits. Peeling peaches is a bit tricky because you might end up bruising the fruit and getting juice all over your hands so I had to go on the internet to see how to do it properly. It's a lot like peeling tomatoes and apricots. Dunk the peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds, transfer to a bowl of ice water then pull the skin off with your hands. It was so easy! I didn't realize though that peeled peaches, like apples, discolor easily. My son suggested I put them in the refrigerator first because they're best eaten cold. When I took them out a few hours later, they were a bit browned, but they still tasted good.
