My version of a great peach clafoutis I ate at Blu restaurant on a cruise aboard Celebrity Reflection. I have used canned peaches, which work perfectly and turn this into a great dessert that can be made in a hurry from what is in the pantry and fridge. It is more of a cake than the traditional custardy clafoutis.
