How do you cut fresh peaches?

This part can be tricky. You need to cut the peach around the middle. While holding the two ends, twist and gently pull apart. One side should come off rather easily. Using your hand or a knife, gently remove the pit from the other side.

Can you cook peaches with skin on?

Yes! They are totally edible and taste great in this recipe. Although the skin should be removed in other recipes so just pay attention to the instructions.

Tips for making the best AIP Grilled Peaches

You must use fresh peaches. The peaches need to be ripe for this recipe to work it’s magic.
Take care when cutting and removing the pit of the peaches. Sometimes the pit can get stuck and you don’t want to mangle the fruit while getting it out.
Avocado oil works best for this recipe and I wouldn’t use a substitute. I’m not a fan of the flavor that olive oil or other fats leave when used with this recipe. Avocado oil is definitely the mildest flavored oil, which is why I prefer it.
