Canned Lychees

Store unopened cans in a cool, dark pantry. Once opened, transfer any unused lychees to an airtight container and refrigerate. Discard if the can is damaged, bulging, or if the lychees have an off smell or appearance.

Drain the syrup or water before using the lychees in most recipes. You can reserve the syrup to sweeten drinks or desserts.

Add canned lychees to fruit salads, cocktails, or smoothies for a tropical twist.

Use them as a topping for cakes, ice cream, or yogurt.

Try stuffing them with small pieces of candied ginger or cream cheese for an appetizer.

Using the canning liquid directly in recipes without considering its sweetness, which can unbalance the dish.
