Unsweetened Sliced Peaches
What it is
These are ripe peaches that have been carefully sliced and packed without any added sugar. They retain their natural sweetness and vibrant flavor. The fruit is preserved in its own juices, offering a pure taste of peach. This product is a convenient way to enjoy peaches year-round, ready to be used in various dishes. The slicing makes them easy to incorporate into recipes without any preparation needed.
How people cook with it
Unsweetened sliced peaches are a versatile ingredient for both sweet and savory applications.
- Topping for yogurt or oatmeal
- Ingredient in baked goods
- Component of fruit salads
- Addition to smoothies
Open the can or pouch and drain the peaches if desired, though many prefer to use the natural juice. They can be added directly to recipes like cobblers, pies, or muffins. For a quick snack, serve them chilled on their own or mixed with other fruits. They also blend beautifully into smoothies, adding natural sweetness and a smooth texture. In savory dishes, a touch of peach can complement pork or chicken.
