Questions about Peach
How can you tell when a peach is ripe?
Choose one that gives slightly when you press gently near the stem and smells sweet. A peach that is hard and scentless needs more time at room temperature; avoid fruit with deep bruises or leaking juice.
Should you keep peaches in the fridge?
Leave firm peaches at room temperature until they yield slightly to gentle pressure. Refrigerate ripe peaches to slow softening, and eat them within a few days; bring them back to room temperature for the fullest flavour.
How do you peel a peach easily?
Cut a small cross in the skin at the base, lower the peach into boiling water for about 30 seconds, then transfer it to cold water. The skin should slip off when you pull at the cut.
How do you grill peaches?
Halve and stone ripe but still-firm peaches, brush the cut sides lightly with oil, then grill cut-side down over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes until marked and tender. Serve with yoghurt, or alongside grilled halloumi.
What can you make with ripe peaches?
Use sliced peaches in a crumble, cobbler or tart, or pair them with raspberries and cream. For a savoury dish, add wedges to a salad with rocket, soft cheese and toasted nuts.
Can you freeze fresh peaches?
Yes. Stone and slice them, then freeze the pieces in a single layer on a tray; once firm, transfer them to a sealed freezer bag. They are best used from frozen in smoothies or cooked desserts, as thawed peaches soften.
Are fuzzy peaches and nectarines different fruits?
They are varieties of the same species: nectarines have smooth skin, while peaches have fuzzy skin. You can use either in the same recipes; there is no need to peel a nectarine unless you prefer it that way.
