For me, this is a must-have Christmas dish, and like so many other good things in my life, it came from my "war girlfriend." I've used canned peaches in both glass and metal jars, and frankly, I couldn't tell the difference, but I'm afraid you'll insist that peaches preserved in fruit juice, not syrup, are a healthier option. If you can only find slices rather than halves, so be it. They're a wonderful side dish for baked ham, hot or cold, and I love them with cheese, too. They bring a real Christmas spirit to the kitchen, and they make a super easy, quick gift when you arrange them in pretty, old-fashioned glass jars.
