Remove from stove, strain into bowl, cover with plastic wrap so wrap touches surface of custard and refrigerate 1 hour.

Cut shallow "X" in bottom of each peach and carefully immerse in large pot of boiling water. After 15 seconds, remove 1 and try to pull peel back. If it comes away easily, remove peaches and rinse under cold water before peeling.
