Ingredients
Scale
- 4 to 5 medium ripe peaches (about 2 pounds or 900 grams)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 15 to 30 ml)
Instructions
- Wash and dry peaches thoroughly to remove surface moisture.
- Slice peaches in half around the pit, twist to separate, remove the pit, then slice each half into 1/4-inch (about 6 mm) thick slices.
- Place peach slices in a mixing bowl and drizzle with lemon juice. Toss gently to coat all slices evenly.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Spread peach slices out in a single layer, ensuring none touch each other.
- Place the baking sheet flat in the freezer and flash freeze the slices until solid, about 1 to 2 hours.
- Once frozen solid, transfer peach slices to freezer-safe bags or containers. Label with the date and store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Notes
Use firm peaches to avoid mushy slices after freezing. Flash freezing is essential to prevent clumping. Lemon juice helps prevent browning and keeps peach slices vibrant. Label bags with the freezing date and store flat to save space and speed thawing.
