Notes

  1. You can also make similar recipes using other fruits like nectarines, apples, plums, bananas, pineapples, etc.
  2. Instead of cutting the peaches in half, you can make peach slices and saute them in the butter mixture. Don't make very thin slices, they will break on getting sauteed.
  3. Increase the cooking time if you prefer darker patches and a mild smoky burnt flavor of fried peaches.
  4. These sauteed peaches can be flavored with other ingredients like nutmeg, cloves, vanilla, etc.
  5. Maple syrup, honey, palm sugar, white sugar, or dark brown sugar can also be used to sweeten these buttery peaches.
  6. Vegans may use coconut oil or vegan butter instead of regular dairy butter.
  7. You can also use a grill pan instead of a regular frying pan to make grilled peaches.
  8. Instead of using unsalted butter, you can use salted butter too but then skip adding salt to it.
