easy freezey Frozen Peaches

We are often asked what's the best way to freeze our peaches. While you certainly can peel them, cut them up, and freeze them with some sugar and lemon juice or Fruit Fresh, we've always been far too busy during peach harvest to do that ourselves! Instead, we've found this simple and super easy way to freeze our Palisade peaches. This is a great way to preserve your peaches if too many soften at once. Enjoy!

You will need:
  • Ripe Cunningham Peaches
  • Large freezer bags (we like the gallon size with a slider zip)

Instructions:
  • Wait for your Cunningham peaches to reach your desired level of ripeness (instructions here)
  • Once ready, place as many whole, unpeeled, unwashed Cunningham peaches as you can into each freezer bag.
    • That's right! No need to wash, peel, or cut up. All you have to do is place them in the bag whole.
    • Using this method, it's important not to wash your peaches beforehand. Washing whole peaches before freezing will give them a bad flavor. 
  • Press out as much air as possible, close the bag, and place your filled freezer bags in the freezer. You're done!
  • When ready to use your frozen peaches, take out only as many as you are ready to use
  • Simply run each peach in your hand under warm water at the kitchen sink, gently rubbing the skin.
  • As the skin thaws, it will begin to slough off, leaving you a delicious Cunningham peach to eat or bake with!
  • Cut peach in half and remove the seed
  • You're all set to eat with a bowl of ice cream, or place into a delicious peach recipe of your choice!​

I froze mine per instruction but apparently you can only do this if you are going to use or eat frozen,my misunderstanding I let mine thaw and it was what I hoped would not happened it was mushy so now I will plan on making pie filling with them I did 1/2 case this way☹️

I've always canned mine also. I buy the Palisade peaches in Colorado. I may try freezing a couple and see how they taste. I don't mind canning them so if the flavor isn't there, I'll continue to can. I sure hope it works though.

Do you bring your peaches to Denver? or somewhere near here.
We have purchased from the farm many times but are not able to drive there this year. We live south of Denver, in Parker.

Thanks

I peeled and sliced then froze my last box of peaches.
This time I will freeze them whole, unwashed and unpeeled as suggested to save the time and prep.

Thanks for this great suggestion!

How long do peaches generally last frozen like this (assuming all the air possible was removed and the freezer is working optimally 😁)?
