Wet Pack Sugar Peaches

Carol Adamek of Dallas has won first place at the State Fair with her cobbler. Carol freezes fresh peaches with a wet pack sugar method. She peels and slices firm, ripe peaches with a knife, squeezing lemon juice over them as she goes.

For every quart of fruit she mixes 1/4 teaspoon of Fruit Fresh with 2 tablespoons water in a bowl. She than adds the cut peaches and 2/3 to 1 cup sugar (depending upon the sweetness of the fruit).

Carol then tosses the peaches with her hands and packages in plastic freezer containers or zip-top freezer bags. She says she still has peaches from last summer that are good.
