Steps

Part 1

Peach selection

Buy peaches during their season. Fresh fruit tastes best when it is ripe, ripe and ready to fall from the tree. The ripening time depends on the region of growth of the peaches and their variety. In Russia, peaches are grown in the southern regions, where they ripen throughout August-September. Peaches are also imported to Russia from abroad, mainly from Europe (Spain, Greece, Italy), Uzbekistan and Turkey, where their season lasts from June to October.

Choose ripe peaches. It is best to buy ripe fruit within 2-3 days of purchase. In supermarkets, peaches are usually less ripe, but if stored at room temperature out of direct sunlight, they ripen in 3-7 days. Peaches stop ripening in the refrigerator, so if the fruit is ripe enough, place it in a paper bag and put it in the refrigerator.

• When buying peaches at the supermarket, choose peaches that are heavier than they look - this indicates that the fruit pulp is filled with juice.
• Don't squeeze the peaches to see if they are ripe. Ripe fruit will let the juice out, but after that, marks will remain on them, which will soon begin to rot.
• Ripe peaches generally have a strong odor at the stem, although the intensity of the odor varies by cultivar.

1. Peach comes in many varieties. This fruit has been cultivated for almost 3000 years and there are hundreds of varieties. In the West, most species have yellow-orange flesh, while Asian peaches tend to have white flesh.

   Store peaches properly. After collecting or purchasing the fruit, remove the stalk and place it down where it was on a light cloth so that the fruit "breathes" at the final ripening. For this, linen or cotton napkins are well suited. Cover the peaches with a light napkin. Place them in the refrigerator on napkins or folded in a paper bag and wait until the pulp is juicier, giving off a pleasant aroma.

   • After placing the peaches in the refrigerator, it is advisable to eat them within a few days. In less than a week, the fruit will become overripe. Never store peaches in sealed plastic bags - they will quickly deteriorate in them.
