FAQs
Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh?
Fresh berries are best for texture, but if using frozen, thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the salad.
How do I know when peaches are ripe?
Ripe peaches yield slightly to gentle pressure and have a sweet aroma. Choose peaches that are fragrant and give just a little when pressed.
