Notes
- Don’t use over ripe peaches or nectarines. You want the fruit to be firm so it keeps its form while grilling.
- Fresh herbs. Use any fresh herbs you enjoy and have on hand, doesn’t need to be these exact herbs. However I love this combination.
- Storing: Place leftovers in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Ripening peaches. If you end up buying peaches or nectarines that aren’t ripe you can ripen them on the counter at home as this fruit does continue ripen after picking. To speed up the process you can place them in a paper bag for a day or two to ripen up.
- Make sure to use a clean grill. Not only will you get nicer looking grill marks, it also keeps the peaches from sticking.
