TIPS
FOR SELECTION AND CARE OF PEACHES
Select firm, yellow Peaches. Green Peaches will soften but
will not have the flavor of properly picked Peaches. Soft Peaches will
bruise as you handle and transport them. To ripen Peaches: allow 1-3
days at room temperature to soften. To lengthen the storage life: store
Peaches in refrigerator between 35F and 40F temperature for 1-3 days.
Once Peaches are cut and/or peeled, they should be covered with
ascorbic acid (Fruit Fresh, prepared according to manufacturer's
directions) or 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to 1 cup of water to
maintain their true color.
The higher the quality of the Peach used, the higher quality of the end
product.
