Notes
How to pit a peach:
The easiest way to remove the pit is to use a sharp pairing knife. Starting at the stem, slice all around the seam of the peach. You will be able to use the pit as your guide - make sure you are cutting deeply enough that you are feeling the pit with your knife. Once you have cut all around, remove your knife and twist the two halves apart with your hands. This can get tricky if your peaches are very soft and juicy; slightly firmer peaches make this job easier. Pull the halves apart and then use your fingers to pry out the pit.
