Can frozen, thawed peaches be used? If so, how much would I use?

The Test Kitchen has not tried this with fozen, thawed peaches. However, we estimate it would take 40 ounces (about 2.5 bags) in order to do so. Thanks for reaching out to us!

This looks like such a great spread recipe! I really like the peach preserves they sell at the grocery store, and this one looks so much fresher and tastier. I could see stuffed French toast with this stuff in the middle, as a topping for yogurt, in crepes, or into oatmeal just to name a few. And I love that it has no added junk in it like preservatives.

Thank you for your question. We have not tried freezing this in the Test Kitchen, so we are unsure whether it will freeze well or not. In our professional opinion, it will become too watery if frozen. Thank you!

Would it ruin the taste/consistency to can these in pint jars? I'd like to give this as Christmas presents to my neighbors instead of salsa every year.

I see some of the questions, do not show answers, such as if you are substituting can peaches how many can do you use

We would recommend using 5-6 (16 oz) cans of peaches.
