Quick Holiday Spiced Peaches from Canned Peaches -Thanksgiving or Christmas Dinner
I love that we can even find large cans of peaches at Dollar Tree and thought it would be fun to share a recipe for some Quick Spiced Peaches for the holidays. They come together in no time, from opening the can to doing dishes is less than 30 minutes. The key is that they do need marinating time in the refrigerator though. So we do need to do a little planning... The can I had were sliced peaches, you only need 2-3 days for them, the halves would require longer and would be fine for up to a week. I'd just whip the halves up the weekend leading to Thanksgiving:@) This made the house smell vinegary and spicy and we all really did enjoy this tasty side dish!
One summer I did make an old recipe for Canned Spiced Peaches here.
That one is a true canning recipe that starts with fresh peaches right off the tree:@)
