I found a 28 oz. can of cling peaches in heavy syrup in the pantry.
Not sure what I was thinking when I bought them, but I'm trying to
use up stuff like this. If I drain them and mix with frozen peaches
(they sell those at the Dollar Store) and a little allspice and
lemon juice, would that make an OK cobbler filling? Or will they
cook into mush?

Is there a better way to use them? Like maybe freezing them and
using in smoothies? Or dice them and add to muffin batter?

Peach tart. They do fine.

My mom makes them into peach crisp.

I dice them up and add them to muffin batter. With a bit of cinnamon in
the batter and cinnamon-sugar topping, they're fantastic.

They will be fine Bob, my Mom always made her peach cobblers with canned
peaches in heavy syrup as we couldn't grow peaches on the Coast. I make
pear cobbler all the time with home-canned pears and they are always
tasty. I use Clear-Jel to thicken the cobbler.

Spoon over a pan of yellow box cake and bake... use the syrup for the
cake liquid.

I'm addicted to putting a large can of peaches into two prepared packages
of Jello or generic substitute and letting it gel in the refrigerator.
One of my favorite desserts. I count the peach liquid as part of the
water required for the Jello.

If they aren't ten years old, you could donate them to your next food
drive.

I like the smoothie idea and I wouldn't bother freezing them for that.
Make an upside down cake with them ‹ pineapple is canned, too, doncha
know. Chill them, put them in a sauce dish and eat them, fercripesake!
If you want to be fancy schmancy, drain them first and put them either
under or. . . . ready?. . . . on top of a glob of cottage cheese. If
you want to be swanky, put some lettuce under whichever way you dish it.

They are nice broiled or grilled, too. I prefer the half-peaches for
that, but it is a favorite side dish with bbq-ed chicken.

I just bought peaches yesterday and was talking to TH about it. Canned
peaches were a staple in the house when I was growing up. His house,
too.

The ones I bought are in glass jars and Kirkland brand - a new product
for Costco as they used to carry Del Monte's that way. Very light
syrup. We'll have some alongside the pot roast tonight.

You can freeze them and blend in the food processor to make a light
sorbet.

I have cans of beets, Lima beans, turnip greens, and turkey Vienna
sausages already for that. "Be prepared", that's what I always say.
But it was a good idea. Thanks! :-)

(the peaches are less than 2 years old)

I'll try the Kirkland brand ‹ do they have citrus, too?
Mom canned a case or two of peaches every summer, too. We used to dunk
a piece of bread into the syrup left in the dish.

Dunno. I have not checked. I'll look the next time I go and let you
know. That place is my second home.

I liked to drink the syrup.

There was an article in the Costco Connection and they only
mentioned jarred peaches and canned peaches/corn/green beans.
FWIW.

I bet they were really good.

For some reason I've had a little fruit craving, and a bag of frozen
fruit caught my eye at Costco. It was the peach slice I spied that
got me. Now it's a big bag of frozen fruit lump as it thawed a bit
on the way home and glued themselves together in my freezer.

Nothing like hacking off a chunk of something for breakfast.

I have had that problem with frozen berry blends. Drives me nuts. I
have tried several remedies, each successful in a way, but it depends
on how the fruit is to be used.

If I am making a fruit filling for something such as aebelskiver, I
separate a hunk-o'-fruit and put it in a ziplock, at which point I
wham it against the counter top a few times.

If I am using the fruit for pies or muffin, I separate a chunk, then
let it defrost in a strainer, catching the juice in a bowl underneath.
You might try this for a night-before-the-morning-of-use sort of
thing.

I realize that a big problem is separating a chunk from the mass, but
you'd be surprised at how handy a mallet and large screwdriver can be
in the kitchen.

So generally, are the frozen fruit blends with peaches any good? I
have only used mixed berries. Well, I have also used frozen
strawberries, but the old fashioned kind, with an end cap you try off
with a can punch and are laden with sugary goodness. I used to eat
them with half & half poured over. No wonder I was a fat kid.

:-) We went yesterday so I could pick up a stash of pot pies (Barb
waves to Bryan and hands him a barf bag '-) and I bought the 4-pack of
the peaches. They're pretty good, though Rob thought they're not as
tender as expected. Me, too‹they were made from slightly underripe
peaches so they'd hold their shape better and look prettier in the jar.
I see some smoothies coming up.

I separated a chunk and put it into a container and left it out
for hours. I didn't know that fruit has some magical stay-frozen
properties, geez. Too bad it didn't stay that way on the way home
from Costco!

I like it. The peaches certainly survived being frozen better than
the berries did. This mix also has melon balls.

I didn't expect it would thaw and be anything like fruit salad, so
I was fine with it. I think it would be great stuff if someone was
looking to make fruit smoothies.

Heh. Hey, it's better than being fat because you ate Twinkies
or something along those lines.

I eat canned peaches with cereal. Especially shredded wheat or bran
flakes.
They are also nice chopped up and mixed into oatmeal. The sweetness
and mushiness is a nice counterpoint to the high-fiber texture of the
cereal.

Some years ago, I was quite fixated on a pickled peach gelatin
concoction. If that interests you, I can probably find the
recipe. Warning: it was made with (IIRC) lemon gelatin. One
could, of course, backtrack and do the flavoring from scratch.
