You’ll find that making Pan Fried Peaches is both straightforward and rewarding. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Peaches: Start by washing the peaches under cold water. Cut each peach in half and remove the pit. For a smoother texture, cut them into quarters.
2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Make sure it coats the base of the skillet evenly.
3. Cook Peaches: Once the butter is melted and begins to bubble, add the peach halves cut side down. Allow them to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes.
4. Flip the Peaches: Gently flip the peaches over using tongs or a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes. They should be golden brown and slightly softened.
5. Add Flavor: Drizzle honey (or maple syrup) over the peaches. Sprinkle cinnamon and a pinch of salt for a flavor boost. Stir gently to combine.
6. Caramelize: Continue cooking for an additional minute or two until everything is well combined and the peaches are caramelized.
7. Remove from Heat: Take the skillet off the heat and let the peaches rest for a moment to cool slightly.
8. Garnish: For an extra touch, garnish with fresh mint leaves just before serving.

This method highlights the peaches’ natural sweetness while adding depth through caramelization.
