Chickens in the Road Forum

My Aunt Ceil used to have peach trees and we just split them, in half (or quarters depending onsize), and took the pits out, then froze them skin and all by spreading them out on waxed paper on a cookie sheet.  The skin slipped right off after freezing then we let them firm up again after handling, and we put them in ziplocks.  That worked well for some things, but you can also treat them just like you’re going to can them your favorite way, then freeze them in that liquid in whatever container you prefer, whatever size you like.  Can also prepare them as if for pie filling in the right size bag for one pie and have em ready for that too, though I’ve never had nectarine pie, I suppose it must be possible!

I’m not sure how easily nectarine skins will slip off if frozen, they may be different than peaches… you could immerse in boiling water for a few seconds then peal, but I bet you know better than me about that!  Nectarines are not common in Ohio!  lol
