How to Dice a Peeled Peach

Now that everyone knows how easy it is to take that extra step to peel your peaches, let’s talk about dicing them. I know it sounds silly, but honestly, those peeled peaches are going to be slippery! It’s easy to cut yourself when dealing with slippery peaches, so I decided to show you all how I do it.

To dice your peeled peach, you are just going to need your peeled peaches, a paring knife, and a bowl to collect your peach pieces.

First, cut vertical lines down the peach across only half of the peach. Make them as close or far apart as you want depending on the size of the dice that you want as an outcome.

Once half the peach has been sliced vertically, rotate the peach in your hand and cut across those cuts.

At this point some of the pieces will naturally come loose from the pit.

Holding the peach over your bowl, use your thumb to push the peach pieces off the pit.

Special shout-out to Hubby for taking these photos while I was dicing my peaches!

    I like to stuff my squash with something savory, like spicy sausage stuffing but your dish makes me re-think the whole concept!

    This looks awesome! I roasted an acorn squash the other night and chopped it up and threw it in a salad. You’re making me wish I had stuffed it instead though!

    I linked to this recipe from Examiner. 🙂

    hmm… is this something you think could be adapted for use with butternut squash? Obviously not really “stuffed”. I have a butternut that I’m looking for something to do with…
