Freezing peaches
It's tithe to start freezing
peaches. 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.)
