Freezing Peaches Tips From Nutritionist at Atlantic City Pier
A nutritionist advises dipping peaches in boiling water to remove pits, then slicing into cold syrup. Ascorbic acid prevents discoloration, with a suggested quarter teaspoon per cup of sugar, or half a teaspoon per three cups sugar per quart water. Use wax paper between lid and juice to prevent floatation and discoloration. Store in family sized jars to avoid spoilage after opening. The Atlantic City pier first opened July 1882 and was wrecked by a September storm that year.
