Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe peaches
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1.5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Wash the peaches thoroughly and cut them in half. Remove the pits and set the halves aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, balsamic vinegar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Place the peach halves cut side down onto the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the peaches develop a light caramelized surface.
Flip the peaches over and pour the honey-balsamic mixture over them. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves, sea salt, and black pepper.
Allow the peaches to cook in the skillet for an additional 7-8 minutes, occasionally spooning the sauce over the top to glaze them.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the peaches sit for a minute to absorb more flavor from the sauce.
Transfer the peaches to serving plates, drizzle with the remaining pan sauce, and serve warm. If desired, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent touch.
