Ingredients
  

  • Clingstone Peach (as many or as few as you want)
  • Small knife

Instructions
 

  • Cut peach around the center of the peach. Avoid the regular crease of the peach entirely. You should be cutting in the center, separating the top of the peach from the bottom.
  • Twist to separate both halves of the peach.
  • Cut the half of the peach with the pit again, going across the peach but avoiding the crease once again. Twist to separate.
  • Remove pit. If the pit still won't remove, slice the part with the pit one more time and then try removing again.

Notes

  • This hack works best if peaches are ripe (but not overripe). It will be best if they have a bit of softness to them. They shouldn't be rock solid but not too squishy either.
