For this stewed peaches recipe, you will first need to peel the peaches. There are a couple different ways you can peel peaches, including blanching them in water to loosen the skins. For me, I like going the low-effort route, and I found it pretty simple to just peel the peaches with a paring knife, like how you would peel an apple or potato. You can also use a peeler, but I found this tugged a little bit on the flesh of very ripe peaches.
