    Types of Canned Peaches

    Canned peaches is a broad term that includes many different canned peach products. Most canned peaches are made from yellow cling peaches. Here are a few of the most common:

    • Sliced peaches in 100% juice
    • Sliced peaches in heavy syrup
    • Sliced peaches in light syrup
    • Peach halves in heavy syrup
    • Peach chunks in heavy syrup
    • Diced peaches in 100% juice
    • Canned peach pie filling

    Canned peaches in 100% juice are packed in concentrated fruit juices like white grape, lemon, pear, or peach juice.

    Canned peaches in heavy syrup are packed in a sugar syrup instead of juice. Peaches packed in syrup are often sweeter with more sugar added.

    Ways to use canned peaches

    Canned peaches are a versatile pantry staple that can be used in sweet and savory dishes! Typically they need to be drained beforehand, but that depends on the recipe.

    Here's a few of my favorite easy ways to use canned peaches:

    • Oatmeal - Add peach chunks to your morning oatmeal! I like to add peaches for sweetness and granola for an oatey crunch.
    • Yogurt - Add peach jam and peach chunks to Greek yogurt, or make a yogurt parfait with peaches as the filling.
    • Chia pudding - Top your chia pudding with canned peaches or swap milk with some of the juice to soak the chia seeds in.
    • Pancakes - Use sliced peaches or peach pie filling as a quick topping for pancakes and waffles.
    • Ice cream - Use it as a topping for store-bought ice cream or as a mix-in for homemade ice cream.
    • Pie - Use a store-bought pie crust and a can of peach pie filling for a super simple peach pie!
    • Iced tea - Pour some of the peach juice into black tea for a refreshing iced tea.

    How to bake with canned peaches

    I highly recommend using recipes specifically for canned peaches, or recipes that specify you can swap them in without any issues.

    In my experience, canned peaches release more liquid in the oven than fresh peaches. While this doesn't matter in certain recipes, it can ruin others.

    For example, a light and airy cake recipe with fresh peaches might be weighed down by all the excess liquid from canned peaches. The result? A dense and soggy cake!

    Canned Peach FAQs

    What can I do with a can of peaches?

    You can do so many things with a can of peaches! Use them to top oatmeal, yogurt, chia pudding, pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. You can also use them as a filling for cobblers, crisps, and crumbles.

    Are store-bought canned peaches cooked?

    Yes, canned peaches are cooked during processing. This means they have a softer texture than fresh peaches.

    Can you drink the juice from canned peaches?

    The juice from a can of peaches is safe to drink! You can just pour it into a glass and refrigerate for up to 5 days. You can also drink the syrup from a can of peaches in heavy syrup, but it's not the best for you!
