This is the first year for peach production from one of the trees,. Once the birds start to sample the peaches, it is time to pick them. Once inside, I make a 10% vinegar rinse solution (1part vinegar, 9 parts water) and let the peaches soak for about 5 minutes, then rinse with clean water. Once dry, they can be frozen whole in gallon freezer bags if you do not have time to do anything with them right away. They can be pulled out of the freezer, sliced and eaten as “popsicles” or cooked as desired. If you have time for a little work, try making ice cream with peaches, or try canning them.
