What is the best way to remove a peach pit when baking peach pies?

Question

I made my first ever fresh peach pie. The pie turned out okay, however, I had the hardest time ever slicing the peaches. Is there a trick to removing the peach's pit? Thank you.

Answer 1

You can also use ripe nectarines . The nectarines have two advantages:
They're a freestone fruit so all you have to do is run a knife around the meridians and twist both halves to extract the " stone "
They don't have to be peeled-less work

Answer 2

I slice it much similar to how you would slice an apple (like an X if you are looking down on the peach) and then peal the slices away from the pit. Ripe peaches will peel away very easily from the pit.

Answer 3

Slice it in half and pick out the seed. I hope you have already
removed the skins if you are making a pie.

Answer 4

If you can find freestone peaches, use those. It sounds as though you had cling peaches, and those pits are tougher to remove.
