Adjust Sweetness: Depending on the ripeness of the peaches, you may want to adjust the sugar level to taste.
Alternative Sweetener: Substitute honey or agave syrup for sugar if preferred, though this may alter the texture slightly.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. Allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping if it becomes too firm.
