16 Steps to Canning Peaches

Step 4, Put Peaches in Hot Water

Put the peaches in the wire basket. Dip them into boiling water 30 seconds to 1 minute to loosen skins. Skins should slip off easily. Remove from the water and put them into cold water that has a little salt in it. The salt will slow down the peaches turning brown. Try peeling first batch to determine how long a time to use. Adjust time if needed. The required time will be determines by the ripeness of the peaches. We try to sort batches by ripeness.
