Canned peach overload! Help!

house_cat — Thu, 21 May 2020 17:04:25 GMT

When the quarantine began, my son ordered a couple of items in bulk, and somehow we wound up with a carton of canned peach halves. I don't care for fruity desserts, but DH does and he has no calorie restrictions.

If you have a suggestion on what to make with all these peaches, I'd love for you to share.

In particular, I'm wondering if I can use them successfully in a pie or cobbler.

Thanks so much!

We love peach cobbler being in GA, the peach state.

Peach Cobbler

1 stick butter, melted
1 cup sugar
¾ cup self rising flour
¾ cup milk
28 oz can sliced peaches in heavy syrup, undrained
cinnamon for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir sugar and flour together and mix well. Slowly add milk and continue to stir to prevent the batter from lumping. Pour butter in 2 qt baking dish. Pour batter directly over butter. DO NOT STIR. Spoon fruit on top of batter, then gently pour syrup on top. DO NOT STIR. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake for 30-45 min or until golden brown

Peaches are delicious grilled and served with chicken, pork, or fish. These were on a grill, but you could broil them. This way would be low cal.

When I get something like this that isn't that good "as is," I use it to make smoothies. I don't bother with ice, I just mix with milk and add something healthy like spinach. So its green, but it tastes like the fruit you have used.

A peach shake might be another option.

Use peach slices to make a delicious smoothie with plant-based milk and whatever other fruits, berries, veggies, nut butter, etc that your husband likes. FYI, when fresh orange is added to a smoothie, there is NO taste of greens like ka!e, spinach, etc. should any be added. I like adding oatmeal or muesli to my smoothies ocassionally.

@KingstonsMom

That sounds like something my husband would enjoy. The only ingredient I don't have is self-rising flour, but I know there's an easy way around that.

I had no idea I could make this with canned peaches.

Thanks to all who posted.

Drain 2 cans of peaches and put in a 13x9 baking dish. Cover with one box of dry white or yellow cake mix. Dot with one stick of butter. Bake 350 for about 35 min until hot and bubbly.

@RedTop

Thank you, but I need some clarification. How large are the cans of peaches and are you saying you add the cakemix dry - no eggs, water or milk?

@house_cat,

Use as many peaches as it takes to cover a 13x9 dish. Cover with a whole box of dry cake mix; no eggs, no oil, no water. Dot with a stick of butter, and bake. So simple and easy.

@house_cat Totally overlooked peaches on a lettuce leaf with shreaded chedder or cottage cheese. Then you could make a fruit salad or put mixed fruit over angel food cake with whipped cream.

I've made the peaches/yellow cake mix that was suggested, and it's great....like a "dump cake". Seems like I used two cans of peaches. I've also used canned peaches in a cobbler.

Also, you can drain a can of peaches, dice them, and serve them on top of French toast - sprinkle with a little cinnamon and light pancake syrup.

I like to add chopped peaches to pancake batter. Yum. Just be sure to drain the peaches well and pat dry with paper towels.

Canned peaches will also work in any peach crisp or cobbler recipe.

@dancingwoman

You can cut them up and add to a salad with a vinegrette. You can add them to a shake. You can cut them up and add them to salsa.
