Why You'll Love This Recipe

Grilling peaches brings out their natural sweetness and adds a smoky flavor that is hard to resist. Wrapping them in foil keeps them juicy and tender, making each bite deliciously soft and warm.

Directions

Warm your grill to medium and give the grate a quick brush with some oil to keep things from sticking. Lay out a big piece of heavy-duty foil and pile the peach slices right in the center. Sprinkle them with a little lemon juice, brown sugar, and a dash of cinnamon, then add small pats of butter on top. Fold the foil up around the peaches, sealing it well so nothing leaks out. Pop the foil packet onto the grill, close the lid, and let it cook gently for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the peaches are soft and juicy. Carefully open the foil and enjoy!
