Boozy Broiled Peaches

Published: Jul 22, 2014 · Modified: Oct 29, 2021 by Marisa Moore·

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Peach season is in full swing here in Georgia. On a recent trip my neighborhood farmers market, tasting just one slice of a perfectly ripe peach convinced me to take a bag of them home. That impulse buy left me with just a few days to decide what to do with all of that fruit. See I already had a fridge full of blueberries, cherries and strawberries.

When I saw this month’s recipe redux challenge to cook with spirits… I decided to cook the peaches for dessert with a little liqueur.

It’s summer. Time to turn down – at least in the kitchen. Maybe I’m a little lazy in the kitchen these days but I still want great food. Luckily perfectly ripe peaches do all of the work here. Just 3 ingredients (see the little sugar sprinkle spill?) make a decadent dessert that allows fresh peaches to really shine.

See that syrup at the bottom of the skillet? That’s some good stuff. Drizzle a little syrup over the top and enjoy as is or with a dollop of cream.

Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 10 minutes mins
Total Time 15 minutes mins
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 fresh ripe peaches, pitted and halved
  • 2 tablespoons sugar adjust with sweetness of the peaches
  • ¼ cup orange liqueur such as Gran Marnier or Cointreau

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Place the peaches cut side up in an oven safe skillet. (My cast iron skillet was perfect. No need to butter the pan.)
  • Pour the orange liqueur over the peaches.
  • Sprinkle the sugar evenly on top of the peaches.
  • Cook the peaches on top of the stove over medium-high heat to allow some of the alcohol to cook off, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the skillet to the broiler.
  • Broil, just until the peaches begin to char and the liquid becomes syrupy, about 5 minutes. (Trust me. You don't want to keep going - unless you're going for the mushy peach experience.)
  • Serve 2 peach halves per person with a drizzle of the syrup and Georgia pecans, fresh whipped cream or a dollop of yogurt for a light dessert.

Notes

Recipe adapted from an Amaretto Roasted Peaches recipe from the Splendid Table - my favorite NPR show.

    I love grilled and broiled peaches. Pecans and whipped cream sound perfect for toppings!

    Holy mother of pearl these look incredible! I love the idea of sprinkling with a few pecans – serious yum! I might have to try these and put a tiny scoop of ice cream on top 😉
