Instructions: Choose fruits that have a sweet fragrance and yellow and red or orange peel, with no hint of green. Buy fruit that is firm but not rock hard. Avoid any that is mushy, bruised or shriveled.

Peaches should be stored at temperatures between 50 and 77 degrees, the range at which theyll continue to soften and get juicier. Temperatures between 36 and 50 degrees cause browning, mealiness and loss of flavor, so avoid any stored in a market cooler.

To soften peaches and increase juiciness, place them in a loosely closed paper bag away from direct sunlight for a day or two.

Once softened, peaches can be stored in the refrigerator for a day or two but are best enjoyed as soon as possible.

And, most importantly, dont stop looking for that peach that requires no cooking at all.
