Fresh Broiled Peaches with delicious Cherry Chai Jam & topped with a creamy Creme Fraiche. This combination is amazing with soft and tender peaches caramelized with the Cherry Chai Jam on the broiler for 6 to 10 minutes.
The concentration of flavors in the cherry spread come through because Cherry Chai Jam, which is available here in our online shop, is made with tart, bright, New York sour cherries that are bathed in the warming traditional chai spices of cinnamon, cardamon, and ginger. Brins collaborated with their Brooklyn neighbors Dona Chai, the best there is and a fellow small batcher making chai tea through fresh ground spices every day. It is a flavorful collaboration. Doesn’t that sound good?
Top Broiled Peaches with Creme Fraiche
The final decadent touch of this peaches dish is a spoonful of Creme Fraiche. If you can’t find Creme Fraiche, use sour cream instead. Another option is ricotta cheese.
What else can I do with Cherry Chai Jam?
If you have some left-over Cherry Chai Jam from this broiled peaches recipe, get some bread, toast it, add some ricotta cheese, and top with the cherry spread. This will make a great appetizer for your next get-together or for brunch or breakfast.

That spiced cherry spread looks amazing with the peaches!
Hi Lisa, Thank you for stopping by. The Spiced Sour Cherry is amazing and Like to eat it on toast with Ricotta cheese and the sour cherry spread on top.
I can imagine these flavors in pie. And with the creme fraiche on the side, too.
Katherine, you just gave me an excellent idea. I will put it on my list for recipes to make. Do you have a good pie recipe that you want to share?
No, I’m a horrible baker and only make a really good cheesecake. But wait! those flavors could work in a cheesecake, too. I’ll email you.
Yes, please e-mail me:)
Yummy! This recipe looks amazing! I am dying to try this. Such a perfect recipe for summer. Thank you for sharing!
Hello Lucy, It was my first time trying fruit broiled, and the flavor of the peaches change into a more juice, sweet and yummy. And, creme and Cherry Spread is a match in heaven. Try it!!!
I think that cherry spread would be amazing on EVERYTHING! I’d put it on waffles, ice cream, you name it!
That’s true Christina! It does go great on everything… pancakes, we made some chocolate cherry ice cream with it too. If you get a chance, check out some of the other recipes we made with it at https://www.spoonabilities.com/product/spiced-sour-cherry-spread/#tab-recipes
This is the perfect summer dessert! Sour cherries just popped up here at the market in NYC so i’ll have to pick some up to try!
Hi Erin. YES, pick some up. It’s cherry season (and peach season). We have learned a lot the last year or so on when different fruits are in season.
OMG. Wine, cherries, stone fruit, AND creme fraiche in one dessert. This is like a dream come true. I can’t wait to buy some peaches this weekend so that I can make it.
Daniela, let us know if you get to make it this weekend. If you have a grill at home, it will taste even better and pretty with the grill marks.
I try to eat fruit for dessert, so this perfect! That combination of peaches and cherry sounds amazing!
Hi Pam. We LOVE peaches and cherries together. Give it a try. Fruit for dessert is so much healthier than other desserts.
This recipe has me actually thinking of Halloween and how this would be a great recipe to try then. It would fit in well.
Halloween would be a great time to make this. The Fall and Winter dishes are great using the spiced cherry spread.
Oh man does this ever sound delish! I just picked a fresh peach from our tree yesterday, so the timing is perfecto! Thanks for the great recipe 🙂
Oooo, what we would do if we had our own peach tree. You are so lucky. Enjoy the recipe. What other recipes do you have for peaches?
Haha I am very lucky! As for other recipes, I have grilled caprese peaches, peach salsa, grilled chicken tacos with peach salsa, peach crisp, and peach and berry crumble. Didn’t even realize I had that many on the blog, but yep 🙂
Wonderful! My mouth is watering just reading the titles. Need to spend some time on your site. Thanks for getting me all excited 😉
Aww thanks for the kind words, Geoffrey 🙂
Oh my word! The flavors in that sauce are just to die for! I have some cherries left in freezer so I am totally going to try this!
Hi Beth. Defrost those cherries right away. You will love this recipe.
Peaches are one of my favorites, can’t wait to try your recipe
That sounds wonderful Heidy. Let us know how good it turns out, and send pictures!!
