2tablespoonssugaradjust with sweetness of the peaches
¼cuporange liqueursuch 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.
