That reminds me of what my grandmother did. We had friends who would bring us a bushel of peaches in Summer, and Granny would layer them in containers with sugar, and freeze them.

In the middle of winter we’d have them over ice cream and it was wonderful. They’d thaw-out like peaches in syrup, but fresh-tasting, not like canned.

I've been taking apples and putting them through my peeler/slicer with the hand crank. I freeze them in little baggies, only a half apple each. So easy to pop out of the freezer and put in with my oatmeal. I only make 1/3 cup dry oats (not the quick ones) in a bowl. Add 2/3 cup water, a few raisins, a few broken up pecan halves, some brown sugar and the frozen apples on top nuke for 3 1/2 minutes on 50%. (a 1200 watt microwave). Delicious and the frozen apples come out hot and fresh tasting. Kind of like underbaked apple pie filling.

Those peaches sound delicious. nothing better with ice cream IMO. I just save ripe ones by slicing and putting in a foodsaver bag and freezing - just in single portions.
