Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

So, picture this: you’re in the grocery store, and the peaches are looking at you like, “Pick me, pick me!” 🍑 You need about 2-3 ripe peaches. Not rock hard, not mushy—just perfectly soft like a hug. Then grab 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, a ¼ cup of brown sugar (light or dark, I won’t judge), and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon. Oh, and a ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground nutmeg, because that stuff just makes everything a little fancier, right?

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, so real talk—last summer, I had a peach overload. My sister came over with a whole crate of them (like, why is she so dramatic? 😂). I didn’t wanna waste them, so I started experimenting. Enter: spiced caramelized peaches. I whipped these up one lazy afternoon, and oh-em-gee. The smell, the taste—it was like summer in a skillet! And it became my go-to for impressing friends or just for me on a random Tuesday. Plus, who doesn’t love ice cream? Just wait until you serve this with a scoop of vanilla on top… it’s a game changer.

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Alright, listen up! The secret sauce here is letting the butter and brown sugar get all creamy and bubbly before you toss in the peaches. Seriously, cook that mix for a solid minute or two until it’s like a syrupy hug for your fruit. That’s where the magic happens! ✨

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

Peach Perfection: Make sure they’re ripe! Hard peaches won’t caramelize well; they’ll just be sad.
Stir, Don’t Forget: When cooking, stir frequently! Trust me, you don’t wanna end up with burnt peaches. 😬
Nutmeg Love: Freshly grated nutmeg is a must! Don’t reach for that dusty jar from the back of your pantry. No judgment, but just don’t.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

If by some miracle you have leftovers (but, like, how?!), pop those bad boys in an airtight container. They’ll chill in the fridge for about 3 days. But seriously, just eat them all right away. Just do it!

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too

So, if you’re into this peachy goodness, you’ll totally vibe with my banana foster French toast. Or maybe those grilled pineapple bites? Both are sweet, sticky, and perfect for summer!
