Open the can and drain the syrup if desired. The peach slices can be used directly from the can. They are excellent as a quick topping for breakfast items like oatmeal or pancakes. For desserts, they can be incorporated into fruit tarts, cobblers, or simply served chilled on their own. Their uniform slicing makes them easy to measure and add to recipes where a consistent fruit presence is desired.
How it differs from similar foods
Cling peaches are named for how their flesh clings to the pit. This variety tends to hold its shape better when cooked or canned compared to freestone peaches, which are easier to remove from the pit. The slicing also provides a uniformity not found in whole canned fruits.

How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused peaches and their liquid to a clean, airtight container. Refrigerate promptly. It is best to consume the remaining fruit within a few days to ensure optimal freshness and flavor.
