*If making this dish during a season that fresh peaches are not available, unsweetened frozen peeled sliced peaches can also be used. Thaw peaches before using or extend the cooking time if using peaches straight from the freezer.

**To skin a peach, use a peeler OR make an “x” at the bottom of the peach with a knife, submerge the peach into simmering water for 10-20 seconds. Cool under running water or in an ice water bath. When cool enough to handle, use paring knife to peel away skin.
