Well friends, what do you think? Scrumptious, right! Easier to make than you might have thought & so absolutely worth it. Sneak some peaches on the grill next time you have friends over & whip this puppy up and I promise it will be an absolute show stopper.

Fire up the grill, call over the gang, and get to hosting!
