How do you halve peaches?

If you’re not familiar with cooking peaches, you may be confused on how to halve the fruit. If you look at a peach, you’ll love a line that starts at the top. This is the best place to start your cut.

Slice into the fruit at this point until you hit the seed. Turn the fruit so that the knife cuts the fruit all the way around the seed. Open the fruit and remove the seed. That’s it.

Why are peaches and other stone fruits are good to grill?

Peaches, plums, and other stone fruits are perfect for the grill because they can withstand the heat. Ripe, but firm stone fruit will hold its shape when grilled.

Softer fruit will just turn to mush. By the way, if you’re not a peach fan, you can substitute other stone fruits in this recipe.

Can you use brown sugar when grilling peaches?

Certainly. Brown sugar will give the butter a richer, deeper flavor.

If you’re adding ice cream, it may or may not be too sweet, depending on your taste buds. If you’re trying to cut the sugar in the recipe, you could also substitute a granulated Stevia.

What if my peaches are too ripe to be grilled?
