cling peach

Pit-hugging summer fruit

A cling peach is a variety of peach whose flesh adheres tightly to the pit, making it difficult to separate cleanly.

Cling peaches are preferred for canning because their firmer texture holds up better during processing.

The opposite is a freestone peach, whose flesh releases easily from the pit.
