Here is a quick recipe for a wonderful dessert to top off your dinner tonight or if company is coming over. Whether you just finished a batch of canned peaches or have store-bought on the shelf, this dessert can be whipped up in minutes! Also, if you only have frozen peaches on hand,  thaw a couple cups and cook on low in it's own juices, just until tender. Follow recipe as directed. Note: If the liquid cooks down a lot, may need to add a small amount of water.
