By Edna Booker


If you like, the taste of a peach you can harvest some during the summer and preserve them for the cold season. Your kids will enjoy this sweet taste even during its offseason. At this period, they are readily available at the malls and markets. Pick them when they are ripe and slice them into small spaces. The outline below is simple methods on how to freeze peaches.

Sprinkle small quantity of sugar on the lined pieces. Prepare a flat surface inside the freezer; place them there to freeze until they turn hard.

Vacuum the bags by pressing them and seal. Place the bags on a tray or a chopping board. The plate must fit well inside the freezer. Remove the tray once you notice they have frozen.
