Notes
How to Pick a Ripe Peach
This recipe is all about the fresh peaches! You know when a peach is ripe when it has a little give when you gently squeeze it. Also, it should be fragrant and smell like a peach!
If you have peaches that aren't ripe yet, just store them in a paper bag. This will speed up the ripening process. Don't store them in the refrigerator - that will actually slow down the ripening process.
Can I Use Frozen Peaches?
If peaches are in season definitely go with fresh ones! If you want to make this pie at another time of year you can use frozen sliced peaches.
Be sure to fully thaw and drain them first. Lightly pat them dry, too. Frozen fruit has a lot more liquid when thawed and that could make your filling runny.
