Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure your peaches are ripe and soft. You can substitute the apple juice with pear juice for a different flavor profile. If cherries are out of season, frozen pitted cherries work just as well. Consider adding a splash of lemon juice to enhance the flavors.
