How to Peel Peaches

This is the easiest way to peel peaches, and it preserves all of the delicious peach flesh. Because peaches are so delicate and juicy, this method is superior to using a knife.  

First, cut an X on the bottom of the peach that is about an inch wide and not very deep. 

Then blanch the peaches for about 30 seconds.

A pasta server is the perfect tool to remove the peaches from the boiling water.

Then let the peaches cool a bit.

See the steam coming off them?

The skin will peel right off.

It's as easy as that!
