Sweet Georgia peaches are a delicacy of summer, everyone knows that. Nothing quite says ‘Summer’ like standing in your kitchen biting into a juicy Georgia peach, sweet peach juice dripping down your chin. This much, we all can agree on. What not everyone knows, is how to freeze peaches.
Peaches freeze incredibly well, allowing us to enjoy the sweet fruits of summer all year long. Frozen when ripe, peaches retain full flavor and sugar content. Follow Ms. Jane Dickey’s recipe below on how to freeze peaches and enjoy a warm peach cobbler any time of the year.

MRS. JANE’S GUIDE TO FREEZING PEACHES
Freezing peaches is our favorite summer activity to preserve the sweet fruits of our labor year round. To do so, follow these instructions:
- Peel and slice the peaches
- Put sliced peaches in a large bowl and coat with lemon juice and sugar or Fruit Fresh® to preserve color
- Place your peaches in a freezer bag and ensure all air pockets have been removed. Write the date and peach variety on the bag
- Enjoy a warm peach cobbler year-round!
