Sautéed Peaches

If you're stuck with peaches that aren't quite ripe, this is a fast and delicious way to turn them into a dessert you can eat within minutes. Sautéing the fruit with lemon juice and sugar helps tenderize and sweeten it. The peaches are terrific on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a few plain graham crackers.
