While picking up a few groceries for meals last week I happened to run right into the huge display of fresh Ontario peaches in the produce section. Fresh, local peaches are my absolute favorite summer fruit so I couldn’t wait to get them home to eat. The box of peaches was just on the brink of becoming fully ripened and like I said I really wanted to eat them, so I decided to cut them in half and throw them on the barbecue for a little pre-dinner snack. I’d made grilled peaches earlier this summer for Jamie’s birthday but since these were local peaches the flavor after they came off the hot fire was so much more intense and juicy…the ultimate summer treat.
