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.
