Preparing the Peaches
Cut the peaches into wedges. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Drizzling and Finishing

FAQ
-
Can I use other fruits instead of peaches?
Yes, nectarines, plums, or even pineapple would work well in this recipe. Adjust grilling time as needed based on the fruit's texture. -
Can I use a different type of cured meat?
Speck or pancetta can be substituted for prosciutto. Adjust the amount based on your preference. -
What if I don't have a grill?
You can pan-fry the peach wedges in a skillet with a little olive oil until they are slightly softened and have some color. Alternatively, you can broil them in the oven for a few minutes.
