01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

4 fresh peaches - peeled, pitted, and sliced 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon butter

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by heating your grill to medium and giving the grates a quick brush with oil so nothing sticks. Lay out a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil and arrange the peach slices in the center. Sprinkle them with a little lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon, then add small pats of butter on top. Fold the foil up around the peaches, sealing it well to keep everything inside. Place the packet on the grill, close the lid, and let it cook gently for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the peaches are soft and fragrant. Carefully open the foil and enjoy!

Cook's tip

- Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness.
- Add a little brown sugar or honey before grilling for extra sweetness.

Serving ideas

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. A sprinkle of chopped nuts or fresh mint can add texture and freshness. This dish also pairs well with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a tangy contrast.

Storage & leftovers

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving to maintain softness. Avoid freezing, as peaches may become too watery when thawed.
