Simple grilled peaches are hands down the easiest summer dessert. The transformation is magical. They can be used in both sweet and savoury recipes but for dessert that little indent from the stone is perfect to hold ice cream or whipped cream.
Peaches are perfect on their own but raspberries are ripe at the same time and together they are divine. Try this combination on a fruit pizza or in a pie or fruit crisp.
If you can't resist add a small scoop of ice cream, a few freshly picked raspberries and a drizzle of my homemade raspberry sauce to elevate this dessert.
Ingredients
Follow the seasons to add variety and excitement to the food you prepare in your kitchen. A sure sign of what produce is at its' peak is what you see at farmers markets. Grocery stores sell everything year round so it's not the best indication of what's in season.
- Fresh peaches - The look can be deceiving but most often ripe peaches have smooth skin, no blemishes and simply look fresh. They even smell fresh.
- Cooking oil
- Optional: ice cream, fresh raspberries and/or raspberry sauce
See recipe card for exact amounts.
Seasonal Strategy
So what do I mean by a seasonal strategy? Well, this is the time of year to enjoy all of your favourite recipes that call for peaches. Be sure to try new combinations as well and anything that sound interesting to you. Soon enough peach season will be over so create a simple system to save your seasonal favourites. It might be a real or virtual recipe box, a binder or maybe just a list of the names on a recipe card. Then you will be ready to repeat all of your favourite peach recipes next August and over time you will gather quite a collection.
