How to store leftover caramelized peaches.

Let the peaches cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Rewarm gently before serving.

Can I freeze the peaches?

Yes, but freeze them before adding the caramel sauce. Let them cool, then store in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw and warm before serving with fresh sauce.
