Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
- Make-Ahead Advice: You can slice the peaches and combine them with sugar and lemon juice a day in advance. Just store them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake!
- Ingredient Swaps: Don’t have fresh peaches? Canned peaches packed in juice or syrup work beautifully—just drain and rinse them beforehand.
- Storage Suggestions: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or microwave for the best results.
- Slicing Tricks: For easier slicing, soak your peaches in warm water for a few minutes before cutting; the skin will come off easily!
