Ingredients

  • Fresh peaches (firm but slightly yielding, fragrant aroma)
  • Honey or maple syrup
  • Greek yogurt or cream cheese (coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • Cinnamon and nutmeg
  • Fresh herbs like mint or basil
  • Butter or coconut oil
  • Oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • Nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • Optional: jalapeño or cayenne for spicy peach salsa
  • Optional: bourbon for peach crumble topping

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry peaches. Slice into halves or wedges depending on recipe. For grilling, halve and pit; for salsa or yogurt, dice finely. (5-7 minutes)
  2. Grilled Peach Halves: Brush peach halves with melted butter or coconut oil. Heat grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill peaches cut-side down for 3-4 minutes until caramelized, flip and grill 2 more minutes. Let cool slightly. (10 minutes)
  3. Peach Salsa: In blender or food processor, combine diced peaches, 1 tbsp honey, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, a handful of chopped fresh mint or basil, and pinch of salt. Pulse until chunky but mixed. Adjust sweetness or herbs to taste. (5 minutes)
  4. Peach Yogurt Cream: Blend peeled peach slices with 1 cup Greek or coconut yogurt, 1 tsp honey, and a pinch of cinnamon until smooth. Chill 10 minutes before serving. (10 minutes including chilling)
  5. No-Bake Peach Crumble: Combine diced peaches with 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1 tsp honey. In another bowl, mix ½ cup rolled oats, ¼ cup chopped nuts, 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil, and pinch of cinnamon. Layer peaches in small baking dish or ramekins, top with oat mixture, press lightly, refrigerate 30 minutes to set. (15 minutes prep + chilling)
  6. Serve grilled peaches warm with peach yogurt cream, peach salsa chilled with grilled chicken or fish, and crumble as dessert. Serve immediately or chilled depending on recipe.

Notes

Use firm peaches for grilling and softer peaches for salsa or yogurt cream. Speed ripen peaches in a paper bag for 1-2 days if needed. Brush peaches with fat to prevent sticking when grilling. Chill peach yogurt cream for best flavor. Prepare salsa just before serving. Refrigerate no-bake crumble for best texture. Use gluten-free oats and nuts for gluten-free version. Substitute coconut yogurt and oil for dairy-free option.
