Tips & Substitutions
For a delightful twist, consider adding a dash of vanilla extract to the peach mixture for added flavor. If you're out of brown sugar, you can substitute with white sugar mixed with a bit of molasses to achieve a similar taste. Using fresh, ripe peaches will enhance the sweetness of the dish, but frozen peaches can also work well in a pinch.
