Fried Caramelized Peaches (Printable Version)
Peaches sizzle in butter and cozy spices, ready to eat in just 15 minutes—so easy for when that sweet tooth hits.
# What You'll Need:
01 -
A dash of salt
02 -
0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
03 -
0.5 teaspoon cinnamon powder
04 -
2 tablespoons brown sugar, or however much you like
05 -
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
06 -
4 ripe peaches
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Dish them up while they're still warm. Pop some ice cream, pancakes, yogurt, or whatever you fancy on the side.
02 -
Flip your peaches with care, let the other side cook for around two or three minutes till they're hot all the way through.
03 -
Set the peach halves cut-side down in your pan. Leave them alone for 5 to 7 minutes so they go golden and sweet on the bottom.
04 -
Let your butter melt in a wide skillet on medium. Pour in sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and a bit of salt. Stir everything together until it's smooth.
05 -
Cut each peach in half from top to bottom. Take out the pits.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Try this with other firm fruits like apples, plums, or nectarines for a fun twist.
02 -
Coconut oil or a dairy-free butter swap works great if you want it totally plant-based.
03 -
Slice the peaches fairly thick so they don't fall apart in the pan.
04 -
Bring in more flavor with nutmeg, vanilla, or a pinch of cloves.
05 -
Use whatever sweetener you have: honey, maple syrup, palm sugar, white sugar, or dark brown sugar all do the trick.
06 -
Skip the pinch of salt if your butter’s already salted.
07 -
Longer cooking gives more of that deep, smoky caramel flavor if that's what you're after.
08 -
A grill pan works well if you want some tasty char lines.
