Here is how to easily peel one peach or a whole bunch of them!

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Using a sharp paring knife, cut a large but shallow x into the bottom of each peach.
Carefully submerge the peaches into the simmering water and blanch for 30 seconds or so.
Use a slotted spoon or a spider skimmer to transfer the peaches to a large bowl of ice water.
Once cool enough to handle, gently pull the skin away from the peach starting from the X.

TIP: Don't blanch the peaches too long, or they will get mushy. They need just enough to loosen the peel.
