Instructions
- With a paring knife, cut an "X" through the skin in the bottom of each peach.
- Bring a medium or large pot (depending on the number of peaches) of water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with cold water and some ice. Do this step now so it's ready to go when you need to dunk the peaches.
- Place the peaches into the boiling water for 45 seconds. If you leave them much longer, the peaches will start to cook and soften.
- Using a slotted spoon, lift the peaches out of the water and immediately transfer to the bowl of ice water. Let the peaches sit in the ice water for a few minutes to cool.
- Starting at the "X" on the bottom of the peaches and using your fingers or a paring knife, peel off the skin from each peach.
Notes
- Use the same method whether you're peeling one peach or ten. Adjust the size of the saucepan and bowl as needed.
