Bourbon Maple Roasted Peaches

Everyone knows Georgia has the best peaches. You know the ones -those plump juicy stone fruits that are durable enough to endure a nice char on the grill but also delicate enough to munch into like an apple. BRB, DROOLING! 

Here is a nice way to highlight the sweet and tangy nectar of a velvety Georgia peach. 

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe peaches

• ½ cup brown sugar

• ¼ cup bourbon

• Splash of vanilla

• ½ stick unsalted butter, room temp

• Chopped walnuts

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 425°f

• Carefully slice peaches in half and remove the pit

• In a bowl, whip brown sugar, bourbon, vanilla, and butter to combine

• If the mixture is too thick, you can add a splash of water. You’re looking for a slightly runny, coarse texture

• Brush the exposed flesh of the peach with your mixture and place cut side up on a baking sheet

• Using a paring knife, make small incisions in the peach so steam can escape and absorb the mixture. 

• Bake for 15 minutes

• Remove & brush with mixture before returning back to the oven for 15 more minutes

• Once tender & slightly cooled, your peaches are ready to eat. 

• Serve with vanilla bean ice cream or whipped cream & fresh mint
