Expert Tips and FAQ’s

Can use Canned or Frozen Peaches instead of Fresh?

Yes, you can use canned or frozen peaches for this recipe.  You should adjust the sugar you add to the peaches depending on the type of peaches that you use.  Canned peaches (in heavy sugar) do not need any extra sugar added.  Frozen peaches might need up to 3/4 cup of sugar.

How ripe should the Fresh Peaches be?

We do not recommend using very ripe peaches.  They will make the cobbler overly mushy.
