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.
Peaches are best kept on the counter, preferably on a towel so that the bottoms will not become mushy. If the peaches are too ripe, store them in the refrigerator to stop the ripening process. If your peaches are not ripe, store them in a paper bag on the counter to speed ripening. Peaches will ripen within a few days, but they will not get any sweeter than they were when they were first picked. Cut fruits should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for extended shelf life.
