Ingredients

15 ounces sliced cling peaches
½ cup bourbon
½ cup brown sugar
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Begin the recipe by grabbing a medium bowl to prepare the glaze. Add the 15 ounce can of sliced California Cling Peaches, ½ cup of the liquid from the peaches, ½ cup bourbon, ½ cup brown sugar. Stir to combine and set aside.
In a large bowl add the 1 pound ground beef, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon paprika, 2 cloves minced garlic and stir the mixture together to combine. I prefer to do this by hand. Form the mixture into 4 to 5 even size hamburger patties.
Heat the grill to medium high heat and add the burgers allowing them to cook 5 to 10 minutes on each side until desired doneness is achieved. This step can also be completed in a large cast iron skillet or grill pan on the stovetop over medium high heat as well.
After the burgers have been cooking for 3 to 5 minutes, generously baste each side of the burgers with the cling peach bourbon glaze. Carefully remove the burgers from the heat onto a serving plate, allowing them to rest while preparing the cling peaches.
To the heated grill or same pan, using tongs, remove the cling peaches from the glaze and add to the grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes before turning each cling peach to the other side to cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
Carefully remove the cling peaches and serve immediately with the burgers, between a bun, with your other favorite burger fixings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese. Feel free to also add any glaze that you may have left!
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, separate from the buns and burger fixings up to 3 days. Reheat the burgers in the microwave until warm.
