Quick Tip for Peaches:

• Select yellow peaches with a healthy blush.
• Let your nose be your guide. Peaches are a member of the rose family and their fragrant aroma tells you which ones to choose.
• Peaches are picked when mature, and continue to ripen when brought to warmer temperatures. If you want to ripen them more fully, place them in a brown paper bag and fold closed. Keep at room temperature and check them daily, as they ripen quickly.
• A ripe peach will “give” a little with gentle pressure, but they are a delicate fruit so handle carefully to avoid bruising them.
• To prepare for immediate use, cut the peach lengthwise and gently twist the two halves apart to expose the pit.
