What it is
This product contains diced peaches, pears, and pineapple packed in water. It is a convenient way to enjoy a variety of fruits without added sugar.

To use, simply open the can or container. You can drain the water if you prefer a less liquid consistency, or use the water as part of the dish. This fruit mix is excellent for adding a touch of sweetness and fruitiness to breakfast items like pancakes or waffles. It can also be incorporated into baked goods, such as muffins or quick breads, for added moisture and flavor. For a refreshing dessert, chill the fruit and serve it on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fruit packed in syrup, this version uses water as the packing liquid. This results in a less sweet profile and allows the natural flavors of the peaches, pears, and pineapple to be more prominent. The absence of added sugar makes it a lighter option.
Who it is for
Anyone looking for a convenient and naturally sweet fruit option.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused fruit to a separate food-grade container. Cover the container tightly and refrigerate. It is best to consume the remaining fruit within a few days to maintain its freshness and texture. Avoid storing opened fruit directly in the original can.
