Peaches are one of those fruits that feel like sunshine in your hands—sweet, juicy, and full of summer. But if you’ve ever struggled with peeling or pitting them, you’re not alone. Over the years, I’ve found a few simple tricks to make the process easy and even a little satisfying. Whether you’re slicing peaches raw for a quick snack or blanching them to peel for a recipe, these steps will take the fuss out of it. Once you know how to handle them, a bowl of ripe peaches becomes the start of something special—like a cobbler, a crisp, or my favorite: stewed peaches on warm biscuits.
