I was so happy to learn this new skill a few years ago. It is so much easier than trying to cut the skin off!
Step One
Put a pot of water on to boil.
Once boiling, immerse the peaches in the water for about 30 seconds (this is blanching).
Step Two
Remove with a slotted spoon or tongs (Not your hand! I was working so fast on so many things that I actually stuck my fingers in the water!)
Step Three
Submerge peach in a bowl of ice cold water for about 20 seconds.
You can do more than one at a time.
Step Four
Remove peach with slotted spoon or tongs and peel the skin off with your fingers or a small knife.
The skin should slip off easily. If not, repeat the process.
Then you should have a nicely peeled peach.
The same technique can be used to peel the skins from tomatoes, except that the blanching time may need to be increased to about 1 minute.
