How to Peel Peaches

How to Peel Peaches

  1. Wash peaches, score with and X on both the bottoms and tops of each peach and set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. When the water is almost boiling, fill a large bowl with ice cubes and then with water. Add the peaches to the boiling water and boil for 30 seconds.
  3. Drain the peaches and immediately plunge them into the bowl of ice water. When the peaches are cool enough to handle, gently rub off the skin and use as desired.

*This method can also be used to peel tomatoes as well as other stone fruits like apricots, nectarines, and plums.
