Chefs Notes
- For best flavor, use ripe, in-season peaches.
- You can blanch peaches briefly in boiling water to make peeling easier.
- Add a splash of lemon juice to the glaze for a slightly brighter flavor.
- Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
