Understanding How To Freeze Peaches

By Shawn Hunter


When you ice up these fruits there is a chance to enjoy their sweetness all year round. Get them while available at the grocery stores and preserve them using ice. Preparation of desserts is very easy and quick as well. Very little is required to be done. They are known to contain some vitamins. The article will explain how to freeze peaches.

The steps to be followed to do this are very easy to follow them. When the winter comes and you get them from the freezer, they taste better than before. There is need to make a selection of the right one in order to consume less sugar when compared to those that are bought. You can pack them with either very light or medium syrup of sugar. Alternatively, they can be packed in juice from white grapes, water or apple juice.

The skin on each of the fruit is slit by use of a knife that is very sharp. An X that is shallow is made. This is meant to give a room for expansion when blanching is done. To blanch, you will have to get water that is boiling inside a pot. Get a large bowl and should be filled with water that has been frozen. Lower the fruits into the water that is boiling for thirty seconds to one minute.

There is need to have the equipments for use as well as the ingredients ready with you. Make a list of what I required before you start following the procedure. For this instance, the first thing you require is the fruit to be canned. Have a jar funnel ready, a pot that is large enough to help handle what you have, ladles and spoons which are quite large. Have a food sealer that does not allow air inside or alternatively a Ziploc bags used for freezing. A fruit juice may be used instead of sugar.

There will be sudden cooling after the time is over. A slotted spoon is used to move content from one bowl to the next that is filled with very cold water. The skin is lose this time and can be peeled without any difficulties.

Sugar pack is another technique used. Small layers of the fruit are packed in the pint. Sugar is sprinkled lightly in layers that are repeated. A half of an inch of the head space is left and another one for quarts. It is then covered and left for around fifteen minute or until it become juicy. After that, the slices are ready to be chilled.

Syrup pack may be used as well and in a similar manner as the others. You will have to prepare it first using water and sugar. The content is placed in a sauce pan and heated while you stir the same time. Then it is removed from the heat and the foam is skimmed. Half cup of it is enough for two fruits.

Sugar solution will be prepared next. The choice made depends on the individuals. The importance of sugar is to stabilize color, improve flavor and preserve the shape. The solution needed should be adequate to completely cover the pieces.
