Ingredients

  • Fresh Peaches
  • cup Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 cup Water

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Juice lemons. Combine lemon juice and cool water in a large bowl.
  • Peel and slice the peaches and add them to the bowl with the lemon juice mixture. Toss the peaches to ensure they are well coated with the liquid.
  • Drain any excess juice from the bowl and arrange the coated peaches on the prepared baking sheet, ensure they are not touching.
  • See notes below: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for an hour or two or until they are frozen.
  • Once the peaches are frozen, carefully remove them from the baking sheet and place the peaches in a zip-top labeled bag. Remove as much air as possible from the plastic bag. Freeze: Seal the bag and remove any excess air to prevent freezer burn. Return the bag to the freezer until you are ready for the peaches.

Notes

How To Flash Freeze Peaches:
Line a baking sheet/cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Follow the instructions above for coating the fruit.  Place the baking sheet into the freezer and freeze the peaches for one to two hours or until frozen. This method allows you to have individually frozen peach slices to use in recipes as you desire. The flash-freezing process allows you to maintain the quality of the peaches and take out what is needed for the recipe without dealing with a block of frozen fruit.
