How do I properly freeze peaches for later use? What's a good peach tart recipe?
Hi gang. I have 3 peaches that are a bit dry and grainy. I bought them yesterday and cut into them this morning for breakfast and wasn't too pleased with them. Well, since it's baking season pretty soon in Brooklyn, I was thinking of storing them to make small peach tarts later in the month. That way I get to warm up the house with bakey goodness in the oven.
What is the best way to freeze them? I could have sworn you're supposed to cook them a bit first with some sugar water or am I just jumping the gun and thinking about the tart making process already? Otherwise, it should be fine to just slice and then freeze them in Ziploc freezer bag, right? Maybe sprinkle some lemon juice on them to prevent browning?
Wait, maybe that was it...lemon juice and a bit of sugar then toss them in the freezer....
Also, what are some good peach tart recipes or even a cobbler/crumble recipe? I also have strawberries in the freezer as well that would love to hang out with the peaches. I think I'm going for smaller 1 - 2 serving size tarts, pies, etc. Would 3 large pitted peaches and some strawberries be enough for 3 - 4 small tarts/pies?
Thanks so much...
