HOW TO FREEZE FRESH PEACHES

1. Sliced Peaches: Wash and peel the peaches, then slice them into desired thickness. Toss the slices with lemon juice to prevent browning. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid.

2. Peach Puree: Wash, peel, and pit the peaches, then cut them into chunks. Place the chunks in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Transfer the puree to freezer-safe containers or ice cube trays and freeze until solid.

3. Peach Halves: Wash and peel the peaches, then cut them in half and remove the pits. Toss the halves with lemon juice to prevent browning. Place the peach halves in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid.

4. Peach Slices in Syrup: Prepare a light syrup by dissolving sugar in water over low heat. Wash, peel, and slice the peaches, then pack them into freezer-safe containers or bags. Pour the cooled syrup over the peaches, leaving some headspace to allow for expansion.

5. Blanched Peaches: Wash and peel the peaches, then slice them into desired thickness. Bring a pot of water to a boil and prepare a bowl of ice water. Blanch the peach slices in the boiling water for 30-60 seconds, then immediately transfer them to the ice water to cool.

6. Peach Jam or Preserves: Wash, peel, and chop the peaches, then cook them with sugar and lemon juice to make jam or preserves. Allow the jam or preserves to cool before transferring to freezer-safe containers or jars.

7. Peach Sorbet: Wash, peel, and pit the peaches, then cut them into chunks. Place the chunks in a blender or food processor along with sugar and lemon juice, then blend until smooth. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker
