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.
