Convert it
  1. Choose small-curd cottage cheese and drain off any thin whey; stir in thick yogurt if needed to keep it cohesive.
  2. Drain the peaches thoroughly and remove any peel or firm edge.
  3. Cut peach pieces to no larger than 1.5 cm and check that each piece squashes flat under a fork.
  4. Fold peaches gently into the cottage cheese without creating a pool of juice.
  5. Serve without granola, nuts, or a thin honey drizzle.
EquipmentFork for measuring and testing
SLP tipCanned peaches are more predictable than fresh, but every piece still needs a fork-pressure check.

Before serving: run the fork pressure test on the finished plate. Recipes guide you to a texture. Only the test confirms it.
