I don’t know about you, but this season has been a peach kind of year for me. Not only did the fuzzy little fruits begin to ripen earlier than expected, but I’ve also been working on some delicious recipes using canned peaches.
If you thought eating peaches straight out of the can was the only way to enjoy them, think again.
Canned peaches are surprisingly versatile, and they can be substituted in just about any recipe that calls for fresh or frozen peaches!
I’m getting hungry, so let’s dig into the recipes….
