How to Make Southern Fried Peaches

  1. Peel and halve 4 ripe peaches. Remove pits.
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Place peach halves cut-side down in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until lightly browned.
  4. Gently flip the peach halves. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar.
  5. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the other side is lightly browned.
  6. Flip the peaches again. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
  7. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, or until the sugars caramelize and the peaches are tender, occasionally turning to coat evenly.
  8. Serve immediately. For an extra touch of deliciousness, top with whipped cream and chopped pecans.
