Notes
Cut the peaches in thick wedges so they hold their shape when grilling. I cut each peach into about 10 to 12 wedges.
Brush the peach slices with extra virgin olive oil to prevent them from sticking to the grill grate.
As peaches are grill, they soften and caramelize. Leave the peels on the stone fruit so they hold their shape.
