Del Monte Quality Yellow Cling Sliced Peaches in Heavy Syrup
What it is

They are a convenient way to enjoy peaches year-round, offering a tender texture and a sweet, fruity flavor. The canning process ensures they are ready to eat straight from the can.
How people cook with it

Drain the syrup before using the peaches in recipes. They can be added to fruit salads, layered into parfaits with yogurt and granola, or used as a topping for cakes and ice cream. For baking, they can be incorporated into cobblers, pies, or muffins, adding moisture and sweetness. They also pair surprisingly well with certain pork dishes, offering a sweet counterpoint to the savory meat. The syrup itself can sometimes be used in glazes or sauces.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh peaches, these are pre-cooked and preserved in syrup, making them softer and sweeter. They differ from peaches packed in light syrup or juice by having a richer, more concentrated sweetness due to the heavier syrup concentration.
Who it is for
Home cooks and bakers often keep these on hand for easy dessert preparations and quick additions to meals.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, transfer any unused peaches and syrup to a separate, airtight container. Refrigerate promptly. They should be consumed within a few days to maintain their best quality and texture.
