Re: Freezing whole peaches
My grandma did this a couple years ago, and gave me some of them. What I do is run them under warm water for a few minutes and the skin literally slides off, it's pretty cool! (and if you're not washing them before freezing, you need to wash them anyway, right?). What I didn't like was that it was hard to cut through to the pit and cut the pit out of the frozen peach. I mainly use frozen peaches in smoothies, so the next year I asked if she'd mind cutting them in half & taking the pit out first (at that time she was able to get free peaches from a packing house near her, that's why I wasn't just freezing my own). THAT is absolutely AWESOME!!!! Run them under warm water for a few seconds to slip the skin off & toss them straight in the blender, LOVE IT!!!
I like frozen fruit as long as it's eaten frozen (or in a smoothie), if you let it thaw, it gets really mushy (that goes for pretty much any frozen fruit I've ever had).
