Freezing Peaches

..
Take advantage of all those fresh ripe peaches at your local farmers market! Load up and freeze them for the winter. Great to have on hand for smoothies or desserts.
.
Wash and peel the peaches, then cut into wedges. Discard pits. Soak for a few minutes in water with absorbic or citric acid to prevent peaches from turning brown (1 quart water to 1/4 t powder). Drain wedges and place on a cookie sheet. Freeze for about 30 minutes. Then transfer wedges to ziploc bags and remove as much air as possible (I use a straw to suck out the air).

* Some people sprinkle them with sugar but the ones I had were so sweet that it wasn't necessary.
