Win-win! So grab yourself 4 BIG juicy peaches and let’s get grilling! First, you’ll need to cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. This is much easier with freestone peaches, trust me 🙂 You can probably tell which were clingstone and which were freestone in the picture above. Once the pits have been removed, brush the cut sides with a bit of canola oil. Then pop them onto a hot grill. You can use an outdoor grill OR an indoor grill. Let the peaches cook for 3 minutes or so, then rotate them 9o degrees and allow them to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. You want them to get nice and caramelized! When ...
