  1. Drain and peel the peaches, then process them to uniformly soft pieces no larger than 4 mm.
  2. Fold the peach into thick custard so the tiny pieces remain moist and bound together.
  3. Check for any separated juice and confirm that the mixture slides from a tilted spoon without sticking.
  4. Run the particle-size, fork pressure, and spoon tilt checks. Do not add cake, nuts, or crumbs.
EquipmentMini food processor, fork and spoon for testing
SLP tipCanned fruit is often softer than fresh, but each batch still needs a pressure test.

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