Why I Love This Recipe
Stone fruit season is the best! Growing up I'd just eat peaches or nectarines plain like you would an apple. But I've since become a bit more creative and when they are in season, you can bet that I'll find a way to work them into just about everything I make- from Avocado Peach Salad to Grilled Peach and Prosciutto Pizza!! There's nothing quite like a perfectly ripe piece of stone fruit. It's tender and packed with flavor and makes for an excellent addition to just about everything. If you tune into snapchat today, I'm adding them into my favorite salad!
But if you're really going for it - then you should GRILL your stone fruit! This recipe is for Grilled Peaches, but it's the exact same for nectarines, yellow or white! You could also use apricots! Sky's the limit. They get grilled which brings out the flavor even more and you get little caramelized bits that are like little pieces of happiness. Add to that a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of sea salt and some ice cream - nothing can compare! Whip up some grilled peaches for your next backyard bash and tell me what you think!

How to Make Grilled Peaches
Step 1: Heat grill to medium high heat. Brush the peach and nectarines halves with a touch of oil and place on the grill for a few minutes.
Step 2: Then rotate 90 degrees to continue to cook for about 3-4 minutes total grill marks appear and the fruit starts to caramelize.
Step 3: Remove from the grill with a pair of tongs and serve with a scoop of ice cream in the center of the fruit. Drizzle with honey and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
How to Store Grilled Peaches
While best when fresh and warm, you can store leftovers in the fridge for a day or two. Warm them up on the stove when it is time to eat.
Tips & Tricks
Make sure and select peaches that are just ripe - so they are juicy and delicious but firm enough to stand up to grilling.
FAQs
What other toppings can I add?
You can add a kick of spice or throw in some nuts.
What if I do not have a grill?
You can use a regular pan on stovetop too! You may not get the grill marks but they will still taste as good.

I am a huge fan of denim- I have been toying with the latest additions lately, but jeans are still my BIG favorite. I am not sure how I could get dressed every day without a pair of jeans. I admit I fall in and out of love with each of my pairs of jeans constantly – I am not going to fess up just yet as to how many pairs there are.
Woooow.....I think I will look for these and try your recipe this weekend. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Gaby! Do you have any tips on how to cut peaches in half/de-pit them? I tried to grill peaches a couple weekends ago - the peach halves would not separate from the pit and ended up a juicy squishy mess.
they might have needed another day to ripen!!
