It’s almost peach season and many will be preserving this summer favorite in various tasty treats.
White fleshed peaches, however, cannot be canned like yellow peaches. White peaches are low acid so traditional canning cannot be done, and that includes water bath canning and pressure canning. No research has been done for safe canning. This includes plain peaches, jam, jelly, or any other mixture.
The best option is to freeze white peaches or eat them fresh.
To preserve yellow peaches, see our Preserve it Fresh, Preserve it Safe: Peaches publication.
