*For greatest coloration and taste, we extremely advocate freezing recent fruit on the peak of ripeness. Peaches needs to be aromatic and barely delicate to the contact. Pineapple needs to be flavorful and shiny (not pale) yellow. To freeze, minimize (unpeeled) peaches into 1/2-inch slices and pineapple into ~1 ½-inch chunks. Place fruit on a silicone- or parchment-lined plate or baking sheet in a single layer. Set within the freezer till totally frozen (~4-6 hours), then switch to a sealed container till prepared to make use of. In a pinch, store-bought frozen fruit will work, however we discovered the peach taste was not as noticeable, the pineapple was extra tart, and the colour was extra yellow.
