Notes
Peaches: Select a firm, yet ripe freestone peach. This will allow the peach to be sturdy enough to stand up to the grilling process but still have optimum flavor. A freestone peach can be an Eastern, Southern, or Californian variety of peaches.
Leftovers: Grilled Peaches are best served warm. However, leftover peaches can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Add diced leftover grilled peaches to oatmeal or yogurt.
Grilled Peaches with Cinnamon Sugar: Before grilling the peaches, sprinkle them with a mixture of 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar mixed with ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon to add a warm, sweet flavor to the peaches.
