If you are using it in a recipe if you boil water and put the peaches into the boiling water for just a minute or so then remove them they will peel off easily.

If you put the peaches in some boiling water for about a minute or so...take them out and put them in an ice bath...when they cool the skin will usually peel right off by rubbing them with your fingers. You may need to use a butter knife for a little help here and there but typically you will be good to go.

peaches must be blanched in boiling water. Then the skin slips right off of them. Boil deep pan 3/4 full of water. carefully dip the peaches in the water. Touch the peach with a sharp knife. The skin will split and slip off. Do This with whole peaches only.

If they are going to be eaten in their raw form, use a paring knife. However if you want to cook them, boil a small pot of water with a slotted spoon dip peach in the pot for about 30 seconds or less the peel will slip right off easy.

Make a small criss-cross cut on the bottom, now put a small pot of water to boil, when it has, drop the peaches in for 30-60 seconds, depending on there ripeness, plunge into a bowl of ice water and in a few minutes they will be ready to peel, this can be used for tomatos, grapes and nectarines

I bring a pan of water to a boil, plunge the peach into the water and submerge. After about 2 minutes remove from pan and place in a bowl of ice water. The skin should just come off easily.

With a sharp knife. You won't get them to peel without peeling some of the inside off but you can do it pretty close if you're not in a hurry. Then slice them against the pit the way they look in jars. You can pop them right off the pit after you slice them.

Use a very thin knife, this way you won't gouge out pieces of peach. Sometimes I find it easier to slice and pit the peach first, then remove the skin.

Dunk them in boiling water for a few seconds. The skin should slip off easily with the dull side of a knife.
