Xanthan Gum Free Classic Grilled Peaches
Summer stone fruit doesn't get much better than this — ripe peaches hit a screaming-hot grill and transform into something caramelized, jammy, and just a little smoky. The honey-butter glaze with a touch of cinnamon and salt is brushed on generously, so every bite is rich and fragrant without being overly sweet. Because the ingredient list is so clean and straightforward, there's nothing here to stress about — no stabilizers, no thickeners, no hidden additives that can sneak into more processed desserts. Ripe but firm peaches are the key to getting those gorgeous grill marks without the fruit turning to mush, so don't skip that detail when you're shopping. A scoop of vanilla ice cream melting over the warm, tender flesh takes this from a simple side to a full-on dessert moment. It's the kind of recipe that looks impressive at a backyard gathering but genuinely comes together in minutes with almost no cleanup.
