The simplest way by lemonade and orange juice and mix them together.

Who ever needs to cut,boil,then peel peaches needs to be SMACKED backhanded. 👋🏿

@oldtimerlee8820 4 жыл бұрын

Want to try backhanding me, when I'm in my kitchen processing peaches for preserving? Or, when I'm preparing peaches to make a cobbler for my guests? FWIW... Using boiling water to peel peaches is a standard food prep process used by people who value both esthetics and efficiency in the kitchen. Manually peeling peaches is time consuming, wastes the flesh of the peach, allows juices to escape and destroys the smooth appearance of the fruit. Before promoting violence, try looking up the best ways to prepare peaches for cooking, canning, dehydrating, etc. You many want to face palm yourself for your comment. Merry Christmas.
