Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use canned or frozen peaches instead of fresh peaches?
A: Fresh peaches are ideal for this recipe as they hold their shape better during grilling and have a firmer texture. However, if fresh peaches are unavailable, you can use frozen peaches that have been fully thawed and patted dry. Avoid canned peaches as they are often too soft and may fall apart on the grill.
Q: What should I do if the wooden skewers keep burning on the grill?
A: Make sure to soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the peaches. This helps prevent them from burning. If you’re still having issues, try wrapping the exposed ends of the skewers in aluminum foil before grilling.
Q: Can I substitute the Greek yogurt in the dip for a non-dairy alternative?
A: Yes, you can use a non-dairy yogurt like coconut, almond, or soy-based yogurt as a substitute for Greek yogurt. Make sure the yogurt is plain and unsweetened to maintain the balance of flavors in the dip.
Q: How do I know when the peaches are perfectly grilled?
A: The peaches are ready when they have visible grill marks and are slightly caramelized on the edges. They should be soft but not mushy. This typically takes about 2-3 minutes per side on medium heat.
Q: Can I prepare the marinade and dip ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can prepare the marinade and dip up to 24 hours in advance. Store the marinade in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For the Lemon Basil Yogurt Dip, cover and refrigerate it until ready to serve. Stir the dip before serving to ensure it’s well combined.
Q: What are some variations or serving suggestions for this recipe?
A: You can add other fruits like pineapple chunks or plums to the skewers for a mixed fruit option. For a savory twist, try sprinkling crumbled feta or goat cheese over the grilled peaches before serving. These skewers pair well with grilled meats or as a light appetizer at summer barbecues.
Q: How should I store leftovers, and can they be reheated?
A: Store leftover grilled peach skewers and dip in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The peaches can be eaten cold or gently reheated on the grill or in a skillet for a few minutes. The dip should be served cold, so avoid reheating it.
