Print Recipe

This easy frozen peaches recipe uses a lemon water bath to prevent browning, preserving the fresh flavor and vibrant color of peaches for delicious summer snacks, smoothies, or desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe peaches (ripe but firm)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup water
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Optional: a few drops vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the peaches by rinsing under cool water and patting dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  2. Peel the peaches carefully using a sharp paring knife, removing just the thin outer skin.
  3. Cut each peach in half, remove the pit, and slice into even wedges about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Prepare the lemon water bath by combining 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice with 1 cup cold water in a mixing bowl.
  5. Submerge peach slices in the lemon water bath for 3 to 5 minutes to prevent browning.
  6. Drain peaches using a slotted spoon or colander and gently pat dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
  7. Optionally, sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar or a few drops of vanilla extract on the peach slices and toss lightly to coat.
  8. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and spread peach slices in a single layer without overlapping.
  9. Flash freeze the peach slices for about 2 hours until firm.
  10. Transfer the frozen peach slices to freezer-safe bags or containers, pressing out excess air before sealing.
  11. Label the bags or containers with the date and store in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Notes

Do not skip the lemon water bath to prevent browning. Flash freezing prevents peach slices from sticking together, making portioning easier. Label bags with dates and use peaches within 6 months for best flavor and texture. Thaw slowly in the fridge or use frozen directly in smoothies or desserts. Avoid thawing at room temperature to prevent mushiness.
