I was reading about this a few weeks ago. I stopped storing peaches in the fridge to prevent them from getting mealy, after having 6 litres of local peaches go mealy.
Then I purchased a 3 l basket of peaches 10 days ago, keeping them out at room temp from the Friday when I bought them, driving them from my vacation rental back to my home. They were fine Monday night, and they were half brown Tuesday morning.
The parts of the peaches I could salvage went into a crumble, and I started this thread.
Bruised or overripe fruit
