Steps On How To Freeze Peaches

By Shawn Hunter


When you ice up these fruits there is a chance to enjoy their sweetness all year round. Get them while available at the grocery stores and preserve them using ice. Preparation of desserts is very easy and quick as well. Very little is required to be done. They are known to contain some vitamins. The article will explain how to freeze peaches.

Make a selection that is worthy keeping for a long period of time. Visit the orchard and make the selection you like. They are known to have varieties that come in different seasons. This also creates a difference in how they taste. Some are sweeter that the others, especially the ones called cling stone and they are growing in the season that occurs during mid June.

What you need to take note of is the selection of the produce that you make. If its unripe it can get bad when you try to freeze it so it lasts for long time. Despite the fact that it will soften, you will not like how nasty it will taste. And this is why the choice made matters a lot. Get one that even at the current moment of picking or buying, it can be fit for consumption.

They need to be skinned first for the effectiveness of the procedure. Do this by use of a dagger that is very sharp. The X mark that you make need to be shallow and this will offer expansion and to blanch will be a quite easy task. This is done using water that boils to dip the content for almost a minute.

After confirming from the checklist that the tools for use are in place, now start following the directions for conducting the procedure. Select the fruit that is very sweet and freestone. It easily separates at the pit. Choose one that is ripe and also mature.

Sugar pack is another technique used. Small layers of the fruit are packed in the pint. Sugar is sprinkled lightly in layers that are repeated. A half of an inch of the head space is left and another one for quarts. It is then covered and left for around fifteen minute or until it become juicy. After that, the slices are ready to be chilled.

Syrup pack may be used as well and in a similar manner as the others. You will have to prepare it first using water and sugar. The content is placed in a sauce pan and heated while you stir the same time. Then it is removed from the heat and the foam is skimmed. Half cup of it is enough for two fruits.

Rims of the container in use need to be wiped. Then seal the bags in accordance to the directions from the manufacturer. Around the lid, use a tape to tighten and label the containers indicating what is inside, date and amount. They can be used for eight to ten months.
