3. Add rosemary and red pepper flakes and let them heat and diffuse into the oil and garlic.
4. Add chopped peaches, pepper and salt.

6. Dont over mashyou want to still have some texturethat is unless you like the chutney more like a jam.
7. If thats the case then mash away!
8. The peaches will start to caramelize and release their liquid.
9. Let them come to a simmer and liquefy some.
10. Add red wine vinegar to taste.
11. Cook until you have your desired taste and consistency.
12. I wanted to keep the fresh sweet taste of the peaches so didnt add too many other things and didnt overcook it.
13. Do what you like!
14. For the scallops: In a large skillet heat olive oil and butter on medium high until very hot but not splattering.
15. When ready, add scallops into the skillet in batches (dont crowd the pan).

19. Remove them when done and finish cooking the rest of the scallops.
