Answer 2

You'll love this. Bring a pot of water to boil. Once water is boiling drop your peach in for about one minutes. Using a large slotted spoon to dip the peach out of the water and place in a bowl of ice and cold water. You can do several peaches at one. Once they are all in the ice water simply slip the skins off. I just pick a piece and peel. Some people wipe with a paper towel. If it is not peeling easy just drop back into the hot water for another 30 seconds.

Answer 3

Slice an "X" on the bottom of the peaches with a sharp knife. Drop in boiling water for 1 minute. Remove and drop in ice water for 1 minute. Remove skin with your hands or paper towel. It comes right off. You can do the same with tomatoes.

Answer 4

i actually hear that you can blanch peaches.... score your peach on the bottom (meaing to slit it like an inch on the bottom but not to far deep)...take boiling water, place your peach in it for a couple of second, till you see the score part peel back a little.... take it out and immedietaly place in ice water....once cooled, remove immediately (so tha it does not absorb the water)....peel the skin offf :)
