You can use canned peaches if fresh ones are out of season, but fresh is always best.

To toast the pecans, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until they are fragrant and lightly golden.
- For an extra touch, you can also add a drizzle of balsamic glaze over the finished Brie.
