Excellent tutorial, thank you! We have a peach tree, we just harvested dozens of little peaches. They're tart yet mildly sweet, and I plan to use them to make preserves, and add some of our figs.
That sounds delicious!
Great info- to the point! Thank you!!
Thank you so much! Making my first peach jam and this helped a whole lot :)
You're welcome. Happy jamming!
Thank you so much!! I’ll be doing this next weekend. 👍🏻😃
Enjoy your peaches.
Vid is a big help! Thank you Lady!
You're welcome.
Very helpful, thank you :)
You're welcome.
Thanks for the video! I was trying to make peach paste and didn't know how to peel
You're welcome.
Thank you!!!!
You're welcome.
Valuable information - I've been wanting to freeze dry some fresh peaches -
I like your personal icon image. :-)
@@commonsensehome Sometimes I am a bit of a wizard.🤣🤣🤣✌✌
thank you!
You're welcome.
Thanks Lauri, I'll have to try this clever little trick with our next yield of yummy peaches from our tree.
The cold weather here should ease up shortly .... only 14 more sleeps till we hit Spring time, woohooo.
No peaches on our trees this year. The late cold, wet weather knocked out the blossoms - but at least the trees are still alive. We're right at the edge of where they can survive, and our recent growing seasons have been challenging.
I've noticed a few leaves starting to change color and drop around here. It won't be long until we're into fall, but hopefully it will be a mild one to make up for the harsh spring.

Wow .... this elderly man has done the impossible .... the impossible!!
@@restawhileyall1781 I have found as I get older that many times the "impossible" is quite possible with enough determination.
Awesome. Thank you!! I’m going to do it right now, LOL 👍🏽
You're welcome.
Thank you for the ice bath tip. No mushy peaches over here.
So glad it worked well for you.
With ripe peaches, soaking them in the hottest water from your tap for 1-2 minutes is sufficient. Peeling is easy peazy and I never have needed to rinse them in ice water prior, however that is prefrence if they feel too hot.
If the peach is not ripe, then i would suggest Common Sense's method.
I tried that with apricots. It worked.
It works great for nectarines and tomatoes, too.
While the ice bath definitely saves your paws, one of the dangers with preserving food is leaving the food in the temperature 'danger zone' where food borne illnesses can multiply. Icing the fruit gets it out of that range, giving you more margin of error on the other steps.
The pH of peaches is 3.30-4.05, placing them firmly in the acidic range, which inhibits microbial growth. Icing the peaches also helps to maintain the texture of the fruit.
Thank you for the tips!! Also random question... what does your shirt say? Lol
"Butter was framed" - it's a reference to how butter was blamed for the damage that margarine/transfats did.
i love your bathing containers in the sink, where do you get those?
The clear basin on the right in the sink is a Rubbermaid product, but it may not be made anymore. The identification # on the bottom says "289D 1". The closest thing I could currently find is this white version - amzn.to/3wUuOsi (referral link)
@@commonsensehome aww that was so nice of you to take the time to look that up for me. thank you so much
@@Porschesvideos you're welcome.
I'm so sorry, i have another question, i want to ship some to my cousin who lives like 6 states away, does it need to be kept cold to ship?
@@Porschesvideos you want to ship some what? Peaches? Keeping them cool would improve shelf life, but it's not essential. I would not attempt shipping very ripe fruit.
Do you have a recipe for peach 🍑 jam?
commonsensehome.com/peach-jam-recipes/ - Peach vanilla and fuzzy navel
Peach raspberry - commonsensehome.com/peach-raspberry-jam/
Blueberry peach - commonsensehome.com/blueberry-peach-jam/
do they separate from the peach easier after? do you take the skin off before or after you pit it?
Are you asking about removing the pit in that first sentence? If so, blanching to remove the skin has no impact on how easy it is to remove the pit. There are freestone and clingstone type peaches. Freestone have pits that are easier to remove, but they do have to be to a certain stage of ripeness before they'll come out well. Clingstone peaches don't tend to pit easily, no matter how ripe they are. We normally peel the peaches first, and then remove the pits.
@@commonsensehome great info thanks a bunch :)
I have a question, doesn’t that process cook the peached??
Notice the ice in the cool down water? It's very important to put the peaches in the boiling water just long enough to loosen the skin, then transfer them to very cold water to stop the cooking.
Since the peach is only left in the boiling water for one minute, it doesn't cook it.
I have achieved the same results by simply using the hottest water from my tap. I leave the peaches soaking for 1-2 minutes and peeling is a breeze. I do not find it necessary to use an ice cold water rinse before peeling though.
I do believe these methods work best when the peach is ripe.
My peaches are a little on the ripe side
If they are quite soft, it's probably best to use them for preserves. We have several peach jam recipes on the site - commonsensehome.com/peach-jam-recipes/

Lori I did exactly what you said...it didn't work...now I have soggy wet peaches that wont peel...what else,can I do. Can you reheat them??
If I'm following you correctly, it sounds like your peaches may have been quite ripe (softer) and/or the timing on heating and cooling might be off a bit. If they've gone soggy, reheating is likely to make things worse. I'd clean them up with a paring knife. It'll be messy, but if they are soggy, it's about the only thing that can be done. I turn mushy peaches into jam.
@@LaurieNeverman thank you ! I will try that. I left them in for a minute and a half because I didn't want to overdo it. But I didn't want to under do it. Maybe it's the Skins maybe they're just too tough?
@@flamingpieherman9822 I normally put them in the boiling water for no more than a minute, less if they are very ripe. I've never had an issue with them not peeling after a minute, only with ripe peaches getting mushy if I leave them in the water too long. That said, produce quality is not what it used to be, so maybe there's a new type of peach that doesn't peel well?
The written instructions for peeling are here - commonsensehome.com/preserve-peaches/#The_Easiest_Way_to_Peel_Peaches
@@LaurieNeverman these are florida peaches...smaller than yours I believe. It took me about 2 hours to try and peel about 10 of them...it was brutal.
@@flamingpieherman9822 sorry it didn't work. I've never heard of it not working before, and it's hard to troubleshoot from a distance.
