So simple you’ll ask “Why didn’t I do this before??”
Cut whole fresh peaches in half. Remove the pit, leave the skin on. Brush with olive oil and dust lightly with brown sugar. Place on the grill on medium heat, flesh side down( skin side up). Rotate occasionally so the peaches grill evenly and do not burn. After 5-6 minutes per side they will be ready. Serve alone or with ice cream…delicious!!

CANNED PEACHES

Peel and take pit out of peaches. Make sure peaches are ripe otherwise the pit does not remove easily. To peel & pit peaches, slice around the peach on its seam, twist peach halves in the opposite direction, pop pit out of the peach and then peel off skin.  Put peaches in quart or pint jars. Add syrup made with 1 cup sugar and 3 cups water. Fill jar ½ inch below top. Process peaches for 10 minutes. I bring water to a boil, then add jars, bring to boil again and let boil for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and then let jars stand in water for another 5 minutes. Remove jars from water and tighten down ring to make sure it seals. Let cool.
