I don't know why she does it this way but it works. A friend on my Organic Gardening Forum learned this from an elderly man. She wraps individual fresh peaches in foil and freezes them in ZipLoc bags.

Then you can take one out of the freezer, run it briefly under lukewarm water and the skin slips right off. Just slice the peach and it tastes just like eating a fresh peach.

I tried this last year and it really worked nicely although I do not see the reason for the foil. Maybe he did this before Zip Loc freezer bags were invented.

I do the same thing with whole tomatoes minus the foil. I use them in cooking though, not for fresh eating.
