Our local apple orchard started selling peaches a few years ago, and I love to buy a lot of their “canning” peaches for making jam and to freeze for use throughout the year. These Ginger Peach Muffins are a nice way to have a taste of summer any time of year. Even in April when it’s still snowing.
The recipe calls for three cups of peeled and chopped peaches, but this time I used a cup of chopped peaches plus two cups of peach puree left over from making jam. Either way works well.
