How To Keep Peaches Fresh

Store ripe peaches in a bag with large holes in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. If not storing the peaches in the refrigerator, then store them in a bag away from other fruits.

How To Keep Peaches From Turning Brown

To prevent your sliced peaches from turning brown, just spritz them with citruses such as lemon, lime, or pineapple. You’ll want to do this if you’re planning on storing the slices in the refrigerator for a few days.

Freezing Fresh Peaches

After slicing the peaches into slices, store them in a freezer-safe bag and place them in the freezer. Frozen sliced peaches will remain fresh for up to four months.

How To Cut a Peach Into Slices

First, prepare your workstation and gather the cutting board and sharp knife. Keep a napkin or linen close to you to wipe away any juices from the peaches.

Next, grab a peach and, with a knife, carefully slice down the peach while cutting around the stone. Cut all the way down to the bottom of the peach.

Next, with your hands, pull apart the peach into two halves as shown below. The stone will still be intact within the fruit.

Carefully, remove the peach stone with your knife then discard. Next, place the peach flat on the cutting board, and begin to slice the peach into individual slices.

Repeat with each peach until you have sliced all the peaches. Now, you’re ready to enjoy the sweet flavors of the peaches. Serve immediately or save for later!

Enjoy sliced peaches by grilling them, placing them in salads, or baking them–there are so many options!
