Recipe source: Fine Cooking | Aug/Sept 2015
This savory marinade balances peaches' natural sweetness with the complex tartness of sherry vinegar. Fresh rosemary adds earthy pine notes, olive oil lends richness, and rum contributes a bit of spice. The marinade also softens the skins, which means you can skip the tedious task of blanching and peeling the peaches. These peaches are delicious in salsas, salads, topping flatbreads and pizzas, and in braises.

Ingredients

• 3 medium ripe peaches, pitted and sliced, diced, or cut into wedges
• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2-1/2 Tbs. spiced dark rum (optional)
• 2 Tbs. sherry vinegar
• 1-1/2 tsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary
• Pinch kosher salt
• Pinch granulated sugar
