Notes
*I bought clingstone yellow peaches. Make sure to choose slightly firmer peaches because they will be cooked. Overly ripe peaches will become too mushy on the grill.
**I used vegetable oil to save money, but if you already have olive oil or another preferred oil on hand, you can use that as well.
***If the peaches stick to the grill, use a fork or spatula to release them. Don't crush the peaches with the tongs.
