How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh peaches
- You should choose peaches with a dark red outer skin, interspersed with yellow streaks, and there should be a layer of fuzz on the surface, with the stem looking fresh and still firmly attached to the body.
- In addition, you can also rely on the aroma to choose; those with a light sweet smell indicate that the peaches are ripe, while if there is a strong chemical smell, you absolutely should not buy them.
- Avoid buying overly bruised fruits, those with wrinkled skin, and when touched do not feel firm, as this is a sign that the peaches have been stored too long and will no longer be sweet and crunchy.
How to choose good pickled peaches
- If you choose to use the pre-packaged type, good pickled peaches are those pieces that have a very eye-catching yellow color, and when touched, they feel firm, not too soft or mushy.
- In particular, when smelling, there will be a characteristic fragrance from the peaches; if you detect any unusual or sour odors, you should not buy them as they are peaches that have been stored for too long and are no longer usable.
- Additionally, you can also showcase your skills by making pickled peaches right at home with the extremely simple and quick recipe below from TasteVN.
