Frozen Peaches

Submitted by Julie Twitchell

Do you have peaches coming out of your ears? I don't either, but my parents do. They dropped off 2 bushels of peaches today before leaving town. UGH! What am I going to do with all of them? Well, here is my list of things to do:

1. Eat them as fast as we can!
2. Make peach raspberry jam! Try this recipe
3. Freeze them for smoothies!

I found a recipe from Alton Brown on the Food network site that I have adapted. Here it is:

  • 1 pound peeled and pitted fresh peaches, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
  • 4 oz. sugar
  • 1 tsp. ground children's vitamin C(I just use the Ball Fruit Fresh)

  1. Place the sugar, Vitamin C or Fruit Fresh into a 1-gallon zip-top bag, seal and shake to combine.
  2. Add the peaches and toss to coat well. Lay the bag flat on a counter and using a straw, suck out any remaining air in the bag. Label and freeze.
