What it is
These are chunks of ripe peaches preserved in a light syrup. The peaches are peeled and cut into uniform pieces, making them easy to use in various dishes.

How people cook with it
Diced peaches are a versatile ingredient that can be incorporated into both sweet and savory recipes. They add a burst of fruity flavor and a tender texture to a wide range of dishes.

To use, simply drain the syrup if desired, or use it as part of the liquid in your recipe. The diced peaches can be added directly to batters for muffins, cakes, or quick breads. They are also excellent stirred into hot cereals like oatmeal or cream of wheat.
