I have been reading a lot about dump cakes and peaches so I got me some
beautiful peaches that need a bit of ripening. Anyone got any tricks to ripen them? -- Boca Jan Florida - Land of the Hurricanes boca_jan1atyahoodotcom http://community.webshots.com/user/BocaJan |

This taken from the university extension/home ec. site:
Peaches emit ethylene gas during ripening. This natural ripening hormone speeds up the process of turning those hard-as-rock peaches into sweet-as-candy delights. By putting the peaches into a loosely closed paper bag, the ethylene gas surrounds the fruits, helping with the ripening process. However, not all bags are created equal. According to these produce experts, paper bags "breathe" a bit, providing a perfect pouch for the ripening of the fruit. Plastic bags, on the other hand, hold in too much humidity, allowing moisture to build up on the fruit. This can lead to fruit that deteriorates more rapidly. Beside peaches, other good fruit candidates for paper bag ripening a apricots, avocados, bananas, kiwifruit, mangoes, honeydew melons, nectarines, papayas, pears, plums, and tomatoes. Hope that helps. Boney Appy-teet! Val "Boca Jan" wrote in message ... I have been reading a lot about dump cakes and peaches so I got me some beautiful peaches that need a bit of ripening.

And if you throw a ripe banana in the bag, the peaches will ripen that much faster. Bananas give off a lot of ethylene. -- Kathy A.

I have never been able to duplicate good old Mother Nature. I've done the
brown paper bag thing and all I get is soft, tasteless peaches. Cindy "Boca Jan" wrote in message ...

No squished/bruised fruit that way. Son and I spent some time today blanching our case of peaches, peeling them and they now all currently reside nicely sliced in the dehydrator. Yum. We did use a few the other night for some wicked ice cream. A couple were saved out and will become shortcake for dessert tonight. The rest will be might tasty dried. marcella |
