Peaches with Prosciutto and Mint
Read Reviews >
Commonly, peaches are peeled by blanching them and removing the skin with your fingers. If you don’t have the time to blanch the peaches, halve them lengthwise and, using a vegetable peeler or sharp paring knife, carefully remove the skin in long strips.
Ingredients
- 3 yellow or white peaches, peeled if desired (see note above)
- 8 thin prosciutto slices
- 24 fresh mint leaves
Directions
Cut the peaches and prosciutto
Halve each peach and remove the pit. Cut each peach half into 4 equal wedges. Cut each prosciutto slice lengthwise into 3 strips.
Assemble the appetizers
Place a mint leaf on each peach wedge and wrap with a strip of prosciutto. If desired, secure with a toothpick. Transfer to a platter and serve. Makes 24 pieces.

Super yummy!
I agree that this recipe is a bit time consuming but the peaches are delicious! I only wish the peaches hadn't turned brown at the ends...not sure what to do about that. In any case, I plan on making them again.

Refreshing and a crowd pleaser!
Delicious! Made these as an appetizer at a summer professional cocktail party and they were a hit (nice gluten free option). Preparation did take a little while, but I felt it was worth it. Excellent combination of sweet, salty, and refreshing.
