Ingredients
Instructions
- In a greased baking dish, place the peaches.
- Mix the grated orange rind with the orange juice and add to the peaches.
- In a bowl, sift the dry ingredients.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider substituting the canned peaches with fresh or frozen peaches when in season. You can also use almond extract instead of orange rind for a different taste. Ensure the baking dish is well-greased to prevent sticking, and sift the flour and baking powder together to aerate the mixture for a lighter pudding. This pudding can be served warm or chilled.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach pudding warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added richness. It pairs beautifully with Mamaw's Banana Nut Bread for a delightful dessert spread. For a more refreshing touch, consider a side of Freezer Fruit Sherbet to balance the warmth of the pudding.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peach pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can warm it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of peaches?
Yes, you can substitute peaches with other fruits like pears, apples, or even mixed berries. Just ensure they are appropriately prepared and adjusted for sweetness, especially if using tart fruits. This versatility makes it a great option for adapting to seasonal fruits.
Is it possible to make this recipe gluten-free?
Absolutely! You can replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to check the baking powder as well, as some brands may contain gluten. This way, you can enjoy a delicious peach pudding while accommodating gluten-free diets.
How do I know when the pudding is done baking?
The pudding is done when it is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the edges; they should pull away slightly from the sides of the baking dish. If it's still jiggles in the center, it needs more time.
