How is the best way to peel peaches? Seems like you dunk them in hot water
for a few seconds but don't remember for sure. Can someone help?

If they are ripe, you can simple pull the skins off.

I found that prior to the boiling water if you use a sharp knife and put
a little slit in the skin, which will help with the skin pulling away
from the peach. When I do 40-50 lbs for a yearly peach cobbler bake it
really helps.
