- The peaches in this video were purchase at our State Farmer's Market directly from the farmer - DUBOSE ORCHARDS, INC. which are located in Monetta, South Carolina. They were pick the same morning I purchased them. These peaches were picked and graded in the orchard and were not handled again until I got them to my kitchen. Peaches are one of the easiest fruits to freeze. Just wash, peel, coat with sugar, pop into the freezer bag and into the freezer, that's it - your done. Peaches are a very healthy fruit with good amounts of lutein needed for good eye health, potassium and magnesium to keep blood pressure in check and keep your heart in good rhythm. Plus they are so delicious. Thanks for watching please leave comments below

While at my grandmothers during the summer we would can sometimes six bushels at a time and there was just not room in the kitchen to do the boiling water and then the ice water , she only had two ice trays in her freezer so that could not have worked for us. I wanted to show how we did peaches on the farm. Granddaddy would sharpen all the paring knives and everyone peeled peaches while grandmother told us stories and washed jars for canning. It was a very sticky job for sure. Thanks, Phyllis
I was so sorry to hear about your mother and dad. Thank you for reposting your mothers videos. I’ve really missed watching her wonderful cooking, stories and how to pick a peach! Aug 1, 2024
I don't think I have ever seen anyone peel a peach with a knife, we always dropped them in boiling water and then ice water and peel the skins right off.. I'll have to try that! I love peaches with just cream on them,, so yummy! Thanks!
My darling Miss Phillis don't work so hard. Drop each peach into boiling water for 15 to 20 seconds take out of water and drop into ice water. Skin slips right off. Works for tomatoes too. Peaches look so good making my mouth water.
Abbygirl, I looked at the video at 10:41 and I can see how it sounded like "Mormon tour ladies". I actually said "more mature ladies". Glad we got that cleared up. Thanks for watching, Phyllis
Salobrena, No you don't have to add sugar but sugar is a type of preservative. If you don't add sugar I would suggested that you use Fruit Fresh which is powdered vitamin C. They can be frozen just as they are without adding anything. Hope this helps, Phyllis
Hi TheUsertobe.
Thanks for the comment. Haven't done a video on peach cobbler yet but it's on my list. Thanks for watching, Phyllis
Phyllis, I remember in1962 I worked at a ice cream store for 50 cents an hour. We worked very hard for that money. I made enough to by my school clothes for the next school year. When I think back it is amazing how expensive things are today. You reminded me to start to look for the lady that sells peaches on the side of the highway here (its will be alberta or hales). Thank you, Gail and Les
Hi Mimi, Great to hear from someone from that part of N.C. I spent many summer vacations visiting with my first cousins in Candor, N.C. My uncle Marvin Cole was mayor there many years ago. Marsh Cole was a year young than me and Barbara was closer to my sister's age. They owned a country store just outside Candor. We use to go to Blake's Restaurant after church on Sunday. Last time I was up that way the restaurant had moved out by the interstate highway, it was a real 1950's diner. Phyllis
Phyllis you bought back some great memories. We would sit around with my great grandmother, my grandmother, great aunts, and of course us teenage girls with a huge galvanized tub in the middle of us all, peeling and cutting up peaches for jams, pie fillings and pickling. Listening to all the stories the older ladies would tell us. Same thing with corn. Husking and scraping for freezing and canning. I just loved those times. Thank you Phyllis. Good thoughts sent to you. :)
Thank you Phyllis and Thank God for beautiful peaches.
Thanks so much Doreen for your kind words. Phyllis
Yes, Marti, that will work fine to prevent browning of the peaches. Your questions are great. Thanks for watching, Phyllis
LOL ... and here in Texas, we think the East Texas peaches are the best! Brings back memories of all the bushels of peaches my Mom bought and froze.
Nothing better than SC peaches.... Mmm so sweet and good. When I want them for canning, I ask for over ripe ones. The vendors will sell them for a cheaper price just to get rid of them, but you must work quickly before they spoil.
Thank you Miss Phyllis for all these freezing videos. I wonder if you have tried to peel peaches , apples and potatoes with a Tupperware peeler ? It has a serrated side for peaches, my mom did it that way. She said that she saved more of the fruit. Funny how we do lots of things the way our moms did them.
You really save money doing it this way, and I love the stories too - great video! So happy to have come across your channel. We probably get a lot of our peaches from there, waving from Canada!
I really appreciate you showing how to freeze these wonderful peaches. ❤️❤️❤️
You have such a nice soothing voice, I could listen to you instruct all day!! Loved your video! Keep them coming!!
I freeze and can peaches, about 100 quarts every summer, and I peel them by putting them in boiling water for a few seconds until the skin loosens. Then you can just rub it and the skin comes right off with no waste at all! I do my tomatoes the same way. I understand why she chose to work her peaches when she did, but they would have been much better if she could have waited just one more day, two at the most!
Thanks so much Phyllis. I loved this video. We're new to the peach world, but bought new house with big yard and we discovered 5 or 6 peach trees. It's getting close to harvest time and we're looking for ideas on what to do with all these peaches!!
Thanks again,
John
Thankyou for the statistics and facts on peaches..its informative and helpful.
Miss you so much Miss Phyllis
Hi Phyllis can i come to your farmers market with you please ? I only live just across the pond in the UK lol.
Just love to hear your stories, my husband heard your voice & came in to sit & enjoy. When the US gov changed the laws years ago regarding how ripe (or unripe, really) fruits were allowed to be when picked & shipped, they had no consideration for those of us who cannot grow certain fruits because of our cold winters. You would not believe what we have to go through to get a decent peach, nectarine or plum! sometimes entire bags full go in the trash, they get mealy before they ripen. It's sad!
What a great haul!
Reminds me of growing up in Greenville and Anderson SC.
We would travel thru Gaffney SC (big peach water tower) on the way to my grannies house in Mount Airy (Mayberry) NC.
We would stop at the pack houses and get peaches.
I remember all the yellow jackets, I think the yellow jacket is the SC state bird? :)
We were sad to hear that we lost our peach crop, due to a late freeze. Most folks don’t think about Oklahoma even HAVING peaches, but we do!
Hey Phyllis, Thanks for the breakdown on the peaches, so helpful. I just want say I always learn so much from your videos. Take care, Candy ❤️🌻
I LOVE your stories about your history with peaches. I grew up in NC and still live there. We get our peaches from Candor, NC, a just a few minutes down the road. I LOVE the ice creams they make at the farmer market stands....thanks for the video!
Thank you so mush for your time and sharing wonderful tips
Hi, TheYazzing, if I said because my mother and my grandmother always peeled the peaches would that be a good reason? Thanks for the comment, Phyllis
Blakes is still on the interstate :) I know a Judy Cole from Candor area--I moved to this area 9 years ago from Fayetteville, where I grew up. I love it here (Troy). Nice to find videos of my neighbors. Cheers!
yummmooo!!
I actually only drive about 20 mins away.... and pick mine and get to eat as many as we want while pulling a red wagon and baskets!!
That's one of my favourite things to do in July... Make peach preserves and can them....
I am ALWAYS PROUD to give jars away.... We ALL enjoy them...
WOE Idk that California was 1st... and then South Carolina!!.Your RIGHT ALWAYS hear of Ga. peaches...
Thank you !!
Our Field stopped for few years... Also has Apple trees In Mt. Juliet,Tn. it's called Breadnes... spelling wrong... A new family has taken over and checked it out and they've got it looking good.... which makes me EXCITED!!
You can stop and buy them already picked but cheaper pick yourself.... I've ALWAYS enjoyed doing it ...
I'M like you Ms.Phyllis, I have my own FAVORITE pearing knife!
VERY INTERESTING! THANK YOU

NO sugar is not necessary for freezing peaches. Phyllis
Have you ever used a potato peeler to [eel your peaches and apples. You don;t seem to waste so much of the fruit. L have used one for years.
Actually the way to do it with the least waste is to drop the peaches into boiling water for a very short bit the way you do with tomatoes when you peel them. After you take the peaches out of the boilding water, the peel will pull right off and not take any meat with it.
i love SC Peaches. TY for the video. I have a peach tree here in NE TN it bloomed this year but a late hard freeze got it.
Yum I love peaches any time of the year. Great tips on how to freeze them.. Thanks Phyllis
Thank you again Phyllis. I'm learning a lot from your videos. Love you.
Love the history there!! You had me sitting there in your grandmothers kitchen peeling along with you... I am going to try it when I get peaches from Colorado! Blessings!
LOL!! How funny! I had a good giggle at that! Love your video's keep them coming!
Abbygirl, don't understand this comment? I don't recall saying "Mormon tour ladies"? Maybe it's my Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and a little Canadian accent. Let me know to which part you are referring. Phyllis

There's a small town in Texas that have good peaches I've bought some they was so ripping that the juice would run down your arm
Great vid! Very informative. Thanks for taking the time to share.
❤️
Have you ever tried putting the peaches in boiling water, like you do tomatoes, it makes peeling a breeze and all the red transfers to the peach giving them great color?
Yes, I have put the peaches in boiling water to help with the peeling but only when I am freezing them and doing a whole bushel. Very easy way to peel peaches. Good Tip.
Hey Phyllis I was wondering how you make your up side down cake. I use the juice from the cherries and the pineapples. Instead of useing all the water. I thought it came out more most.
Love your videos. Have you made a peach cobbler video? If not, please do, or tell me you have one I can view. Thanks!!!!!
Did you say Mormon tour ladies?? I didn't catch that and played it twice.
Can you use Splenda or the Baking Splenda instead of Sugar ?? Diabetics in this house.....What about freezing without sweetner ?? Thanks so much !
Margo Erne Hi Margo, I've never used Splenda for freezing but I'm sure it would work fine. You can freeze without sugar or any sweetener.
Its at the 10:41 mark. Sorry about that! Thanks
Thank you for sharing all of this. I love fresh 🍑 , I am going to try and find some to freeze for this winter.
Is the sugar necessary for freezing?
I’m crying at how much peach 🍑 you’re cutting off 😭 drop them into boiling water and that skin will peel right off and not a bit of peach 🍑 is wasted . They look like clingstone peaches to me, meaning the peach don’t wana let that stone go.. cling-stone. they’re a lot bigger than the peaches they send up to us in the North, Queensland Australia 🇦🇺
Our peaches 🍑 at Woolworths at the moment are $3.50AU kg which the currency converter tells me is $2.34 US I intend to grow my own tree 🌳 Down South they are probably much cheaper and available at the farmers markets
They are definitely clingstone peaches. If they were cling free, she could just cut them in half and lift the pit out without destroying any of the fruit.
@@sortathesame8701 my mother would can clings whole,& some she would pickle especially the smaller ones. She would boil the peelings with little water added to make jelly with or can juice or freeze juice for use later. Cobblers or whatever
