Grilled Peaches and Caramel Sauce are incredible. Seek out freestone peaches, if possible, and find farm-fresh, too. Make sure you set up a 2-zone heat with your grill. And pay close attention to the caramel. We suggest trying a practice run before serving to guests.

If you can't find freestone peaches, carefully cut the peaches in half, around the knife, and then use a sharp paring knife to cut out the pit. The peaches should be soft to the touch and slightly indented when pressed. If they are hard, they need to ripen more on your counter until softened.
These peaches are best served right off the grill. The caramel sauce can be made in advance and then reheated before serving.
Though this recipe isn't difficult to prepare, we suggest doing a test run of it before serving it to guests. You want your grill hot, but not so hot that it burns the peaches. Also, the caramel may take a practice run to get it just right.
