I love juicy peaches. I have been wanting to grill them, but putting it off, and eating the peaches, before I could do that. You can just imagine my excitement when I got this recipe, from So Tasty, So Yummy for the swap that The Taste of Home Cooking puts on.
I had never grilled green onions or peaches before, but I loved both of them. This was a perfectly balanced dish. It was pretty spicy, so if you are making this for kids, I may tone it down. I love spicy and the peaches provide a great sweetness. I alternated eating a shrimp, an onion, and then a peach. The peaches caramelized on the grill and were still perfectly juicy inside. Grilling peaches is really all it is cracked up to be, I can't wait for more recipes with grilling peaches!
