you know I have cooked them down before and added just a tablespoon or so of apple pie spice, and made peach butter, it is wonderful. If it needs to be sweetened you can use splenda or honey.

When I can peaches, I cut them up and add a touch of citrus fresh. It's plain old vit. C, but it keeps them from turning brown. Busy day today. I have a bushel of Missouri peaches and two apple trees ready to be picked. This year with all the world events going on, I have canned more than ever.
Thanks once again for all the useful input. Today I finally got around to cutting up and freezing the remaining peaches I have, gonna make some wonderful pies down the road, also took a dozen of the nicest peaches and froze them whole to see how this works out, I need a bigger freezer lol. It'll soon be apple time here in this part of Ohio, looking to get a few bushels of different varieties for drying and freezing, I don't know about yall but, I'll take a Winesap or McIntosh over a red delicious anyday! Thanks again, my peach butter turned out great, and btw, I posted a really easy brownie recipe sometime back, if ya like chocolatey brownies you need to check it out, super simple with excellent results.

Hi, I have had very good luck with slicing peaches and apples and just spreading them on a cookie sheet, sprinkle tiny bit of sugar, pop in freezer all spread out. When totally frozen take em out, work quick and put into freezer bags. That way you will have very fresh, just picked peaches for your pies. We had a very old orchard on our farm and I did all our fruit that way, even berries, then you could just pop out of the bag the amount you wanted and put the rest back in the freezer. Good luck. AL
