Boozy Broiled Peaches

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
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.
