  Chef's Note: I tried peaches at different levels of ripeness, and the ones that work the best are the ripest ones you can find. The kind that are so ripe, if you press, you can leave an indentation in the skin of the peach.

  Chef’s Note: If you do not wish to grill these, you can always use a grill pan (as I am doing), or you can just sear them in a hot pan. The reason for the grill is to get those nice grill marks.
