What is best? Like Trent- we have a caboodle of peaches that I would like to freeze and then go pick some more.

Simple syrup.

Quarter or eighth peaches. Pack them into jars. Pour over them a hot syrup made from 1:1 sugar:water. Close the jars and then boil them or pressure seal them, I think it is 20 or 30 minutes (I'd have to look it up).

Freezing them is easier. I cut them into eighth, then acrossways to sixteenths and freeze them on a cookie sheet with the skin down. Once frozen, I put them in freezer bags.

This seems reasonable:

They recommend a slightly lighter syrup, more like 1:2 sugar:water.
