Instructions
- Wash the peaches.
- Cut the peaches into slices.
- Add sliced peaches to a medium bowl.
- Pour water over peaches and the juice from one lemon (~2 tablespoons of lemon juice).
- Soak the peaches for about 5 minutes.
- Drain the peaches using a colander.
- Spread the peach slices out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 4 hours (or longer).
- Transfer the frozen peaches to a silicone freezer bag or another freezer-safe container. A quart-size freezer container should be large enough. (Sometimes, it's easiest to use plastic zip-top freezer bags, but the silicone ones work well too. Alternatively, they do make freezer-safe glass containers as well.)

Notes
How Long Are Frozen Peaches Good For?
Frozen peaches are good for about 9-12 months if kept in the freezer.
Remove as much air from the container as possible to avoid freezer burn. There is an easy way to remove air if you are using a Ziploc plastic bag or a silicone bag like a half-gallon Stasher bag.
- Fill the bag with the frozen peach slices.
- Insert a straw into the bag, leaving several inches outside of the bag.
- Zip the bag closed around the straw, holding the straw and bag where they meet.
- Then, suck the extra air out of the bag using the straw!
- Once it looks like all the air has been removed, slide the straw out and finish zipping it closed.
