These are the absolute best when peaches are in season, which in North America is in July, August, and September. Nothing beats fresh, sweet, juicy peaches!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches?
Frozen peaches turn quite soft once they thaw, so we don’t recommend using them for this recipe.
Can I use bacon instead of prosciutto?
If you’d like to use bacon instead, make sure that it is thin-cut bacon. Thick cut is hard to wrap around the peaches. Also, you’ll want to pre-cook the bacon for several minutes before you wrap the peaches. That way the bacon will crisp up nicely on the BBQ.
Do I have to serve these grilled peaches with burrata?
Nope! While we love the combination, they’re delicious on their own, too.

Ingredients
- 4 large peaches (ripe but firm)
- 8 slices prosciutto
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- Basil leaves, reduced balsamic vinegar, black pepper, burrata (to serve)
Instructions
