Ways to use Peaches Part 2

Once you have purchased the items needed, including the peaches themselves, canning peaches is a great way to keep them on hand even when the peach season has passed. The following video gives good basic instruction.

Another easy way to save your peaches is to freeze them.  In checking with Peggy she freezes 2 different ways. In her own words:

"I take the skins off and the pits out. Stir some sugar in with them and freeze them. Some people like to use Fruit Fresh or another version of citric acid to keep them from browning over time. 7-Up, Sprite, or a generic counterpart also works and doesn't leave the tartness of the citric acid products. They don't seem to change the flavor of the peach."

"Peach halves can be frozen with the skins on. When you need a few halves, take them out and run them under tap water...the skins slip right off. Use cool water."

In doing some research I found they actually have Peach Festivals. One held in August at Winona, Ontario, L8E 5R1

Looks pretty interesting, providing traveling is possible.
