Effortless Pan Fried Peaches (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Fruit
01 -
4 ripe peaches
→ Caramelization
02 -
A tiny bit of salt
03 -
0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
04 -
2 tablespoons brown sugar
05 -
0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 -
1 tablespoon plain butter
# Instructions:
01 -
Dish up the warm caramelized peaches. Top with your favorite things like yogurt or ice cream, or dig in just as they are.
02 -
Flip every peach gently and cook for another 2 or 3 minutes so the other side gets just a bit caramelized and everything's hot.
03 -
Put the peach halves cut-side down onto the pan. Let them sit for 5 to 7 minutes, no peeking, till they look deep brown and sticky.
04 -
Warm up the butter in a wide pan over medium. Toss in the sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Stir everything to get it all smooth and bubbling.
05 -
Cut each peach right down the middle and pop out the pit. Want them chunkier? Go for thick wedges so they keep their shape as they cook.
# Notes:
01 -
Try mixing it up with apples, plums, or nectarines instead of peaches.
02 -
For a plant-based swap, use your go-to vegan butter or coconut oil.
03 -
Chunky peach slices hold up better when you're frying them.
04 -
Throw in some vanilla, nutmeg, or clove to change up the flavor.
05 -
Maple syrup, white sugar, palm sugar, or honey all work fine as sweeteners.
06 -
If you're using salted butter, don't bother adding extra salt.
07 -
Want deeper caramel flavor? Just cook the peaches a bit longer for a slight smoky taste.
08 -
A grill pan makes cool lines on the peaches if you want them.
