HONEY-GLAZED ROASTED PEACHES

Serves: 6

2 tbsp (30 ml) lemon juice

1 tbsp (15 ml) sugar

1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt

6 firm, ripe peaches, peeled, halved, and pitted

1/3 cup (80 ml) water

1/4 cup (60 ml) honey

1 tbsp (15 ml) unsalted butter 1/4 cup (60 ml) hazelnuts, toasted, skinned, and chopped coarse

1. Adjust oven rack 6 inches (15 cm) from broiler element and heat broiler.

2. Combine lemon juice, sugar, and salt in large bowl. Add peaches and toss to combine, making sure to coat all sides with sugar mixture.

4. Combine honey and butter in bowl and microwave until melted, about 30 seconds, then stir to combine.

6. Remove skillet from oven (skillet handle will be hot), brush peaches with remaining honey mixture, and transfer peaches to serving dish, leaving juices behind.
