We work directly with farmers to harvest peaches when they’ve reached their peak and ship to you within hours. Many will have opportunities to pick your own peaches from their orchards. Once May begins, start checking your farmers markets or look up local growers. Peaches sold in grocery stores are often picked too early and ripen in distribution houses, and trust me, biting into a crummy peach after waiting all year is such a letdown.Ī rushed peach just can’t taste the same as the fruit that has been allowed to mature on the branch. The very best way to experience this amazing fruit is fresh. I’ve had the privilege of working and talking with peach farmers across the country. Check out our easy canning instructions here. A light syrup with sugar will help preserve their color. Remember, the larger the peach and slices, the shorter your canning time! Choose unblemished peaches with slightly firm flesh.
Choose a yellow flesh variety like Cresthaven, Glohaven, or Red Haven for sweetness and resistance to browning.įreestones, again, take the lead here, due to their incredible flavor, easy pit removal, and resistance to browning. Having a pit that pops out cleanly makes for quick slicing and a nice presentation. They are nearly impossible to find in stores, so check The Peach Truck and your local farmer’s markets early in the season.Īssuming you're a cook that likes to keep prep work to a minimum, the best type of peach for baking are freestone varieties.
Clingstone varieties are primarily used in commercial canning where machines manage the task of peeling, slicing, and pitting. They are also fantastic when eaten fresh and blended into beverages. The yellow and bright red flesh surrounding the pit is sweeter, juicier, and softer than freestones, making them an excellent candidate for jams. Go ahead and grab a knife though, because the extra work is worth it! Clingstones are the first peaches to be harvested each season. True to their namesake, a clingstone's flesh hugs the inner stone and does not easily peel away. Popular varieties: Early Amber, Golden Jubilee, Lucky 13, Nectar, September Snow, July Prince Depending on the variety, freestones are available in yellow or white flesh, and are the type most often stocked in supermarkets.īest for: eating fresh, canning, freezing, and baking They’re sweet, but not too sweet for baking, easy to slice, and can be eaten just like an apple in the palm of your hand. A freestone peach is larger and typically not as juicy as their clingstone cousins, but, don’t worry, you’ll still need a handful of napkins.
Freestones are a breeze to prepare and remain the preferred choice for quick meals low-prep preserving.
Cut a freestone in half and the peach's flesh easily falls away from the pit, especially when the fruit is ripe.
