Ingredients

4 fresh peaches or 1 can of peaches, drained and patted dry with a paper towel
1/4 cup brown sugar
2-3 tbsp butter
heavy-duty foil

How To Make

Before leaving for your camping trip, place brown sugar and butter in a ziplock bag. Store in the refrigerator or cooler until ready to use. Blend together with fingers in the bag right before use.
Spread 4 large pieces of heavy-duty foil on the picnic table or counter.
Slice peaches and remove the pit.
Place peach onto the foil. Pour 1/4th of the butter/sugar mixture onto the middle of the peach. Place peach back together and wrap tightly with foil. Repeat for the rest of the peaches.
Place into hot coals in the campfire. Let cook about 15 minutes or until the peaches are softened. Take care opening foil as steam will escape.
Let cool a little and enjoy!

How To Make Caramelized Peaches in the oven or on the grill?

You can follow the same steps as above, but simply place foil packs onto the grill grate, then cook with the cover shut for 15 minutes.

To cook in the oven, preheat oven to 400 degrees and cook for 15 minutes.
