Ingredients
Scale
Peaches
- 4 fresh peaches
For the Pan Sauce
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- ¼ teaspoon ginger powder
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare Peaches: Cut each peach in half vertically and carefully remove the stone from the center.
- Make the Pan Sauce: Melt the unsalted butter in a pan over medium heat, then add brown sugar, cinnamon powder, ginger powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine and let the mixture begin to bubble gently.
- Cook Peaches (First Side): Place the peach halves cut side down into the pan on top of the melted butter and spiced sugar mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the cut side to brown and caramelize beautifully.
- Flip and Cook Other Side: Gently turn the peaches over and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes to warm through and finish cooking without burning.
- Serve: Remove the peaches from the pan and serve hot, ideally topped with ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, or any accompaniment of your choice for a sumptuous treat.
Notes
- Adjust the quantity of brown sugar depending on the sweetness of the peaches and your personal preference.
- Use ripe but firm peaches for best results, so they hold their shape when cooking.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the peaches at their warm, melty best.
- You can add a splash of vanilla extract or a dash of nutmeg for extra flavor.
- Be gentle when flipping the peaches to avoid breaking their delicate flesh.
