Ingredients
- 4 Summeripe Peaches or Nectarines (4 Summeripe Peaches fit nicely onto a standard sized baking sheet but you can freeze as many Summeripe Peaches & Nectarines as you wish!)
Instructions
- 1. Cut wax or parchment paper to cover your baking sheet. Using wax or parchment paper will help to keep the frozen fruit from sticking to the baking sheet.
- 2. Slice the fruit, try to slice the fruit into similar sized slices to ensure the fruit will freeze equally. We like to leave the skin on the fruit but you may also remove the skin if you wish
- 3. Carefully place the fruit slices onto the wax paper lined baking sheet. Do not let the fruit touch each other, this will help to avoid large clumps of frozen fruit.
- 4. Place the fruit slices & baking sheet into the freezer and allow to freeze for about 24 hours or until fruit slices are completely frozen
- 5. Once completely frozen, remove fruit for freezer and place into a large freezer bag and thoroughly seal the bag.
- 6. Store the bag of frozen fruit in the freezer and enjoy Summeripe Stone Fruit all year long!
Notes
- Frozen Summeripe Peaches is also the secret ingredient in our Summeripe Peach Smoothie! Don't water down your smoothies with ice cubes, use frozen peaches to make creamy, thick, and nutritious smoothies all year long.
