' Isabelle Challice Press Secretary by Barbara McNinch HOME ECONOMICS FOOTNOTES by Barbara McNinch, R.O.S. Speclaliast (Home Ec.) Ontario's peach season begins begins in late July, when several- early varieties of semifreestone semifreestone peaches go to market. These juicy peaches are generally small-sized, with flesh that clings to the pit. Semi-freestones are best when eaten fresh, out-of-hand. By August, Ontario's freestone varieties become available and they usually last until late September. The name 'freestone' signifies that the flesh separates freely from the pit. Because of this, as well as their larger size and greater availability, the frëestone varieties of peaches are ideal for cooking and preserving. Ontario peaches are handpicked handpicked and carefully rushed to markets and stores within just a few days of harvesting. At home,, care should be taken when Storing peaches. Keep unripe «peaches at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Occasionally, check for ripeness by looking at the background colour. Don't pinch; just look for a creamy- yellow colour with no green tinges. Once ripened, store Ontario peaches, uncovered, in the refrigerator for up to five days. For easier peeling of peaches, plunge them into boiling water for 30 seconds and skins will slip off. To prevent prevent browning of sliced peaches, dip in ascorbic acid or lemon juice. « Be sure to enjoy the fresh, juicy sweet flavour of Ontario's famous peaches.'
