Pitting peaches couldn't be easier, especially since most peaches sold for eating out of hand are freestone peaches, meaning that once the peach is cut, the pit doesn't cling to the flesh of the peach.

To pit a peach, cut the peach along the seam all the way around and through the fruit down to the pit. Then twist each half of the peach in opposite directions. Voila! A pitted peach.
