Open the can and drain the syrup if desired, or use it as part of the preparation.

They are also delicious served alongside ice cream or whipped cream for a simple dessert. For a more complex dish, consider adding them to a fruit compote or a light pastry filling.

How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh peaches, these are conveniently pre-sliced and preserved, offering year-round availability. The syrup provides a consistent level of sweetness and moisture that can differ from the natural juiciness of fresh fruit. The texture may also be softer due to the canning process.
