Here are some commonly asked questions
How to store Grilled Peaches?
To store grilled peaches, first, allow them to cool completely. Then, place them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to eat them, simply reheat them on the grill or in a pan on the stove.
How long should I grill my peaches?
For best results, please grill them for about 8-10 minutes. No need to flip them over, since they are rounded on the other side, they won’t have enough contact with the grill for it to make a difference.
Can I add other fruits to my grilled peach dish?
Yes! Grilled peaches go great with other fruits like nectarines, plums, and cherries. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations. These would be great when added to a dinner salad, tossed fruit salad and so much more.
What other toppings can I add to my grilled peaches?
In addition to the classic ice cream topping, grilled peaches also taste great with whipped cream, honey, or a simple dusting of sugar. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
Ingredients for Grilled Peaches
- peaches – firm but ripe
- cooking oil – coconut, grapeseed, walnut, or other mild-flavored oil
- unsalted butter
- granulated sugar
- ground cinnamon
Serving
- ice cream
- caramel sauce -optional
Can I grill frozen peaches?
Yes! Just be sure to thaw them completely before grilling. Frozen peaches will also take longer to grill, so be patient.
I would imagine that because most frozen peaches come pre-sliced, you would have to place them in a container or on a griddle over the grill. They would essentially become smoked peaches since they wouldn’t be touching the grill grates.
How to Make Grilled Peaches
- Preheat the grill to medium heat.
- Cut the peaches in half and remove the pit.
- Brush the peaches on the cut side with the oil.
- Brush the grill with the oil as well.
- Place the peaches on the grill -cut side down- and cook for 8-10 minutes.
- While the peaches are cooking, melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Stir in the sugar and cinnamon.
- Remove the peaches from the grill and place them on a baking sheet with a rim.
- Spoon the butter mixture over the peaches slowly so it soaks in.
- Serve immediately with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce, if desired.
- Store the leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Can I make grilled peach pie?
Absolutely! Just follow your favorite recipe and substitute grilled peaches for the fresh or canned peaches called for in the recipe. Yum!
I have not tried baking a pie on the grill yet. But stay tuned, it is on my wish list.

Does it matter what type of peach is used?
Nope – you can make this recipe with either yellow or white peaches. They are both equally delicious. Just make sure they are ripe but still firm enough that they don’t squish when you cut them and remove the pit.
Can these peaches be grilled on the stovetop?
Yes – if you would like to grill these peaches on the stovetop instead of the bbq that is possible. I found that using a cast-iron skillet works best for this – preferably one that has grooves in the bottom like this grill pan here.
How to Cut a Peach
First – Wash thoroughly by rinsing under water and rubbing gently with your hands.
Then – if you want to peel the skin before cutting – if the peach isn’t fully ripe, use a peeler to remove the skin. Otherwise, score the skin on top and blanch them in boiling water for 15 seconds. After that, immerse them in an ice bath to halt the cooking process. This method allows you to remove the peaches’ skins without cooking them.
To cut into slices – Place the peach on a cutting board with its stem side up. Cut angled pieces from the peach using a paring knife, starting from the stem end. To remove the flesh, cut away any tissue around the pit if necessary. This results in between 10 and 12 slices.
Leaving the peel on – Start with the peach at the top of the stem, where there is a natural indent. Cut down into the flesh until you hit the pit with a sharp paring knife. Continue cutting around to the other side until it reaches where you started.
To remove the pit
Twist each half, then hold. If it comes apart with little effort, the peach is a freestone. It’s most likely a clingstone peach if you need to remove the pit from the flesh by cutting.
Choose one of the sides, then use the blade’s tip to make small incisions along the pit’s curve, separating the flesh. The remaining portion will still have the pit in the middle since you removed half of it with tiny sawing motions.
