Peaches

Peaches are either clingstone or freestone. This term refers to how easily the flesh separates from the pit. Freestone peaches are available starting in mid-June. The Southern states of Georgia and South Carolina provide fresh market peaches from May through July, and the peach-producing Northern states harvest from July through September.

Selecting the perfect peach

Selecting the perfect peach

Peaches can be enjoyed at any stage of ripening. A uniform yellow background color with no green around the stem and a fragrant aroma are the qualities to look for when judging ripeness in peaches. Do not refrigerate firm fruit –the temperature will stop these fruits from ripening. Store peaches on the kitchen counter so they will reach your optimum preference for firmness. When the peaches are fully ripened or past maturity, then they may be placed in the refrigerator or frozen.
