What is the best way to peel a peach?

Answer by  Rinda (121)

Rather than peeling a peach with a knife, try this: Place the peach on a slotted spoon, immerse it in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then place in a bowl filled with cold water to stop the cooking process. The peel will slip off easily.

Cut just through the skin from the top to the bottom. Stick it in boiling water for thirty seconds, then into ice water. The skin will then peel away.

The easiest way to peel a peach is by blanching it. This is done by boiling water in a pot then adding peaches for about a minute.

The best way to get the skin off of a peach is to blanch it. You boil a pot of water, drop the peaches in just for a few seconds, then remove them. Rinse under cold water and then the skin should come off in large easy to peel chunks.

Peeling peaches is as easy as boiling water. Just dip the peach in recently boiled water, then into an ice bath. The skin will slip right off.

If you are removing skin to make pie, etc you can boil water, dunk the peaches in for about 1 minute and then immediately put them into a bowl full of ice water. Once cooled the skin will pull right off. For peeling raw fruit just a good paring knife.
