Good tip! I’ll try them. I usually do a “pick your own” at a local orchard but will try these
I just bought a box of Moonlight white peaches from California at Sam’s club.
OMG! They are sweet and delicious. They almost look like nectarines, not quite as fuzzy as a peach, but very sweet and tasty.

If you picked them up recently then they’ve been in cold storage that’s why they’re hard. Go to a local farm in July/ August and try different kinds.

Growing up, my grandparents had a peach tree and I’d love to know what kind of peach it was. I remember them saying that the peaches tasted so awful, fresh, that they were practically inedible, but when cooked they made the BEST preserves, cobblers, etc. I think they may have been a white peach, but I’m not sure. I know that the preserves were more a light golden brown than the typical yellow/orange of commercial peach preserves - but I don’t know if that indicates the type of peach or simply the fact that Grandma didn’t use artificial colors.
Any ideas?
White peaches are delicious straight, but they don't taste like much when you cook them. A baking friend said it's because they're lower in acid.
If there was a brown tint to the preserves, it sounds as though your grandma didn't use lemon juice or Fruit Fresh. My mom used to make her own peach preserves, and they were pretty orange.
I don't think most commercial jams use food coloring, but they might choose a particularly colorful peach

I’ve done pick your own at Butlers and it’s hot and there are bees. The hike out with the wheelbarrow to the trees is hard. The trees closest to parking are usually bare. Too much work. The white peaches are to die for!

That just sounds like a peach.
I would never buy peaches in May.
Wait until July and get them at the farmers market.

Yikes! Peaches aren't supposed to be crunchy. Where do you live? Peaches start to be in season in the DMV in June.
Some cultures do eat peaches when crunchy. It’s just a preference.
My advice is, find a local orchard and get them there. If you are in DC area, you’ll be waiting until mid summer.

McLeod Farms in SC sells these by mail order. I gave up on grocery store peaches years ago.
