Not sure about how to select the peaches at the grocery store? Listen up!

• Smell the peach. The peach is a member of the rose family and should have a pleasingly sweet fragrance.
• Look for a creamy gold to yellow under-color. The red or “blush” of a peachis an indication of variety, not ripeness.
• Peaches should be soft to the touch but not mushy.
• Look for a well defined crease that runs from the stem to the point.
• Don’t squeeze peaches; they bruise easily.
• Place firm peaches on the counter for a day or two, and they’ll ripen.
• Promptly refrigerate ripe peaches and eat them within a week of purchase.
• To peel a peach, dip it into boiling water for 30 seconds, then in cold water. The peel should slide off easily.
• To keep sliced peaches from darkening, add lemon juice or ascorbic acid
