- 15 oz sliced peaches drained and diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease 1 large or 2 small loaf pans.

- Let the loaf cool before slicing and serving.
Notes
If using fresh peaches instead of canned, peel and dice about 2 medium peaches. You may want to lightly toss them in flour to prevent sinking.
