How to Freeze Fresh Fruit: Peaches

A quick & easy way to preserve summer fruits, picked fresh for smoothies, pies and jams year round.
Servings 12 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 pounds fresh peaches approx. 12 peaches
  • 3 cups filtered water
  • 1 lemon Juice of one lemon

Instructions
 

  • After peaches are clean cut them into slices
  • Pour water and lemon juice into a bowl large enough to hold all your peach slices. The lemon juice helps maintain the color of the peaches and avoids brown spots. I let them sit for a 5 minutes.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place peach slices onto the tray. You don't want the peaches touching or they will freeze together, so leave a little space between them.
  • Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let them freeze for about 1-2 hours.
  • Remove peaches with a spatula or wooden spoon and place them into a freezer friendly, airtight container and store them for up to a year in your freezer.

Notes

This recipe gave me 2 large freezer bags full of peaches.
