Recipe - How To Choose The Perfect Peach

*** NON NE *****

When you are shopping for peaches, the Food Council, Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food, advises that you look for firm undamaged fruit that
is wellcolored, with no evidence of green. Always select peaches with
wellcolored "ground" or undercolor, which may range from creay white to
yellow, depending on the variety. A green tinge in the ground color
indicates immature fruit which will not ripen completely. Although the
"rosy blush" on peaches is lovely to look at, it is not necessarily an
indication of peach flavor or maturity. The "blush" differs with the
variety.

Store ripe peaches in the refrigerator in a covered container or perforated
plastic bag. At this temperature, they will retain their high quality for
about a week. If your peaches are slightly unripe, spread them out at room
temperature, away from direct sunlight. When ripened, use them right away,
or refrigerate them.
