Ripening and Storing. When you bring your harvest home, some peaches may be ready to enjoy immediately. However, it usually takes a few days at room temperature for them to fully ripen. Lay the peaches flat on a counter or table and check daily for ripeness which is indicated by a deep yellow background color and when the fruit yields slightly to pressure from your thumb.
Press lightly on the peach before picking it. Pick peaches that give slightly when pressed; overly firm fruit isn't quite ripe. Lift the peach upward and pull gently to separate it from the tree; peaches requiring a hard pull to pick aren't fully ripe. Pick peaches daily once the first fruits begin to ripen. Peaches won't all ripen at the same time and daily picking ensures selecting peaches at their height of flavor and quality.
