The Redhaven, consid- ered -one of the best peaches for freezing, is now on the market, If you are planning to freeze this variety you should start now, as it has a very short season. There are several other varieties suitable for freezing - Veteran, Envoy, Loring and Madison. Although these varieties are not grown as extensively and are not as available as Redhaven, they can usually be found at a road- side stand or a specialty fruit and vegetable store. For a top quality frozen prod- uct use the freshest possible fruit. It should be firm but ripe. Freezing peaches is really very easy, say food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ontario Department of Agricult- ure and Food. First remove the skins. To do this, dip the peache into boiling water for 15 to 60 seconds. (The length of time will depend on the fruit.) 8 r fmy and get one Thursday, September 16th Only! 8stIt's Colonel Sanders' Canada -Wide BigaiDa SALE 0 • CK€ anders makes 0t 'finger iickin" gond..
