How to Peel Peaches

When it comes to peeling fresh peaches, peelers and paring knives are bound to leave you with squashed, chunked-out fruit. But, like with tomatoes, there's a super easy way to get the skin off peaches — you blanch them. Just place them in a bowl, pour boiling water over them, and let them sit for about a minute. Dunk them in cold water and peel — the skins will come right off, leaving smooth, skinless peaches.
