Peach Preserves FAQ
When cooking with peach preserves, there's a need to strike a balance between the natural sweetness of the peaches, the tartness, and the additional sugar used in the preserves. Underestimating this balance leads to overly sweet or tart preserves. Peach preserves can serve multiple uses beyond a breakfast spread. They can be used as glaze for meats, a base for salad dressing, or in baking. In order to get the most out of peach preserves, utilize their versatility in both sweet and savory dishes. A lesser known trick is to add a bit of lemon zest or cinnamon to peach preserves when making them from scratch to enhance their flavour.
