Southern Skillet Sweet Peaches Recipe

6 ripe peaches
1/4 to 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp butter, cut into 12 little pieces
4 Tbsps butter for frying

Wash the peaches, dry them, then split them in half and remove the pit. Evenly divide the brown sugar between the 12 peach halves and fill the hollow with the brown sugar, then set a little piece of butter on top of each.

In a large deep skillet over medium-low heat, melt the 4 Tbsp butter, then set the peach halves in gently, cut side up.

Let the peaches simmer gently in the skillet until hot and softened, spooning melted butter over the tops of the peaches as they cook. Add more butter to the skillet if you wish. You may also loosely cover the peaches with foil to get them cooking a bit faster, but don't turn the heat up; leave it on a low simmer so butter doesn't burn.

Serve hot with ice cream or whipped cream.

Will serve 6 to 12.
