They looked so good, but no way can I eat them all. I need suggestions.

When you can't come up with anything else and still have peaches, cut them up (take out pits), put them in a saucepan with some fresh water and a little sweetener, bring to a slow boil, remove from heat and cool. I put this in freezer containers and freeze it, take it out to add into things or as a fruity topping for pancakes and such.

(113,130 posts)It's an alternative to canning when you don't have the canner, jars, and assorted crap for it. Macerating in some sugar after you blanch them will give you something akin to peaches in syrup for that nasty day in February when you make pancakes for breakfast.
I am jealous, they don't grow anywhere near NM and are picked so green that they're utterly flavorless. I crave peaches, I get canned. It's the only way I'm going to taste peaches, not cardboard.

(113,130 posts)if you're not using sugar, lemon juice will do the trick. Otherwise, they can brown, specially on the edges.
