Notes

Peeling Peaches (the Easy Way) - 
  1. Boil a large pot of water. Add peaches and boil for 1 minute.
  2. Transfer immediately to an ice water bath to cool.
  3. Slip off skins (they will come off easily), remove pits, and slice peaches as desired.
Note: if the peaches aren't totally ripe, the skins might stick a little to the peaches, Simply use a knife to help peel them away.
