Melody, you can, just make sure they’re peaches in light syrup and that they are well drained before chopping them. You may also want to blot them with paper towels just to make sure there isn’t a lot of extra moisture added to the batter. Enjoy them!

Lana, yes, you can do that, and as you said, thaw them first and make sure they are well-drained as you don’t want to add any unnecessary moisture to the batter. Enjoy!

JoAnn, thanks so much for catching that. Whoops! The peaches, if frozen, should be completely THAWED, and then drained on paper towels.

RE: using frozen peaches-“make sure they are completely frozen before using. You may need to drain them a bit on paper towels before adding…”. Should they be completely FROZEN or completely THAWED?

Bayley, you can use frozen peaches, just make sure they are completely thawed first and you may need to drain them a bit on paper towels before adding them to the batter to make sure there is no additional moisture. Enjoy them!

Denise, I haven’t made the scones without the cream cheese, so not sure what the final outcome would be without it. If you don’t like the cream cheese, I would suggest using mascarpone or if you’d prefer not to do that, find a peach scone recipe that doesn’t contain the cream cheese.
