Scale
Fruits
- 4 fresh peaches
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- ¼ teaspoon ginger powder
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Cut each peach into halves vertically and carefully remove the seeds to prepare for cooking.
- Melt Butter and Add Spices: Heat the unsalted butter in a pan. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon powder, ginger powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined to create a spiced caramel base.
- Arrange Peaches in Pan: Place the peach halves cut side down into the pan on top of the spiced butter mixture, ensuring even contact for caramelization.
- Cook First Side: Cook the peaches on medium heat for approximately 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the cut side to brown and caramelize beautifully.

- Serve Warm: Remove from the pan and enjoy the pan-fried peaches hot. They pair wonderfully with ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, or your favorite dish.
Notes
- Adjust brown sugar quantity according to sweetness preference or fruit ripeness.
- Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent them from becoming mushy during cooking.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
- Can be garnished with fresh mint or a sprinkle of nuts for added flavor and texture.
