When you get home, place your peaches on newspaper in the coolest part in your house. I use the cement floor in the basement. I lay newspaper down first and then carefully place each peach on the paper to ripen. This may take 1-3 days depending on your peaches.
The night before you prepare the peaches, make a few batches of simple syrup. Let cool and then chill until the next day.
Simple syrup
4 c. water
3 c. sugar
Fruit fresh
Combine sugar and water and let come to a simmer, or until the sugar has dissolved. This makes about 5 1/2 cups of simple syrup. Then add 1 teaspoon of fruit fresh for each cup of syrup. I usually make about 4 batches of simple syrup.
Clean and sterilize your canning jars. I just put mine in the dishwasher. I also prep by precutting sheets of waxed paper to place on top of the peaches.
Let's get started! We need to remove the skins. Heat a big pot of water to boiling and carefully add your peaches one by one just a few at a time.
Let the peaches sit in the hot water for about 30 seconds.
Remove the peaches and place on a tray to cool. Peel each peach.
Cut each peach in half and remove the pit. Slice each peach half into medium slices and place into jars. I usually do a few at a time so that the peaches don't turn brown. Pour in simple syrup to completely submerge the peaches.
Then, top with a piece of cut waxed paper. Seal with the lid and wipe the outside of the jars to remove any syrup from the sides of the jar. 
Place the jars in the freezer to enjoy all winter long! The peaches are especially delicious when they are semi-frozen. They make you so happy that you took the time to freeze them!
