Heather's Helpful Hints
- Feel free to leave the peel on your peaches if you'd like some extra texture.
- Make sure that your peaches are extra ripe. Alternatively, you can use canned peaches if fresh are not in season.
- For a fun twist, add two teaspoons of Grand Marnier liqueur.
- If your peaches are not ripe, you may need to add more sugar. Add sugar one tablespoon at a time.
