Notes

More great tips for baking with peaches:

• Canned California cling peaches hold their flavour and consistency better than fresh peaches. Canned peaches can be substituted for fresh peaches in recipes such as crisps, cobblers and pies

• For quick weekday breakfasts, especially in winter and spring when fresh peaches are not available, add canned peaches to cereal and top with yogurt

• Canned peach slices make the perfect topping for pancakes, crepes, waffles or French toast
