Can I use canned peaches for peach dumplings?
Yes, of course! Canned peaches might be easier to find, depending on where you are. They are also often cheaper. Once the dumpling is baked, no one will be able to tell whether you used a fresh or canned peach. If you have access to fresh peaches, the consistency might be a bit better, but not many people will be able to see the difference.
Do I need to peel fresh peaches for peach dumplings?
It is not necessary to peel your peaches if you decide to use fresh ones. The skin will soften in the oven and it won’t be a bother to chew up. However, if you are very attentive to details like these and cannot stand fruit skin in your dessert, peel the peaches!
What can I replace Sprite with in peach dumplings?
Sprite ensures your peach dumplings have that gooey texture that we love. It’s important to avoid pouring any directly on top of the dumplings, as we do want them to get brown and crispy in the oven. If you don’t have Sprite, you can use Fresca, 7-UP, or Mountain Dew.
