Amapentshisi abengolunye lwezithelo zokuqala ezatshalwa eWestern Cape ngemuva kokufika kukaJan van Riebeeck ngo-1655, kwathi ngo-1892 kwaba ngesinye sezihlahla ezatshalwa kakhulu eCape Colony, kanye namaphethelo.
Amapentshisi ahlahlela indlela yokuthunyelwa kwezithelo lapho kwaba yisithelo sokuqala ukuthunyelwa kusuka eSouth Africa ngoJanuwari 1892. Lesi sithelo satshe sathunyelwa eNgilandi sigibela isikebhe saseDrumond Castle sathola amanani angcono kakhulu kunokuba bekulindelwe ekuqaleni.
Izinhlobo eziningi zama-dessert nezinhlobo ze-peach ezihlwanyelwe eNingizimu Afrika, ngokukhetha okuvame ukuqondiswa yizidingo zokukhiqiza kanye nemfuno yemakethe. Izinhlobo ezindala zithathelwa indawo izinhlobo ezingcono, ezisebenza kahle lapho zitholakala.

Ukukhiqizwa kwe-peach kuhlukaniswe izigaba ezimbili: ukunamathela kwamapheya kanye nama-peess dessert. Amapentshisi e-Cling anelitshe elivame ukunamathela enyameni yepiki, okwenza kube nzima ukususa ipayipi ngaphandle kokulimaza inyama. Lama petshisi asetshenziselwa ikakhulukazi ukugoqa, ukwenziwa kwama-purees, ujamu kanye nama-jellies.
Ama-peess ama-dessert abizwa nangokuthi ama-freestone peaches ngoba itshe kulula ukulisusa ngaphandle kokulimaza inyama. Ngokuvamile zinkulu, ziqine futhi zingagcobhozi kunamapheya anamathela. Zivame ukuthengiswa emakethe entsha, yize zingasetshenziselwa ukosa nokubhaka.
Amapharele aphakeme ku-fibre, amavithamini kanye namaminerali, futhi aqukethe izinhlanganisela zezitshalo ezizuzisayo, njengama-antioxidants asiza ukuvikela umzimba emiphumeleni yokuguga. Izithelo nesikhumba kuyadliwa, kepha itshe kufanele lilahlwe.
Amapentshisi angadliwa aluhlaza, asetshenziswa kumasaladi, omisiwe, asemakhonkweni noma asetshenziselwe ukwenza izicubu, amasoseji, ukugcotshwa ngezimbiza, ukupheka noma ukubhaka. Zingabuye zenziwe ijusi noma zihlanzwe.
Lapho uthenga izithelo ezintsha, funa izithelo ezibushelelezi, eziqine futhi ezinemibala ekhanyayo. Izithelo ezithambile nezithelo eziqinile zingadliwa ngokushesha. Kodwa-ke, izithelo eziqinile zingagcinwa isikhathi eside futhi zingavuthwa ngokuwushiya endishini nezinye izithelo, ezinjengama-apula noma ubhanana. Amapentshisi angafakwa esiqandisini ukunciphisa ijubane inqubo yokuvuthwa.
Itshe lingasuswa ngokusika i-peach eceleni komthungo, bese lisonta izingxenye ezilinganayo bese lidonsa i-halves ngokwahlukana.
