grilled peaches

So I'm finally back in action after a much-needed trip back home. Five days of nothing but wading around a glorious pool and grilling various meats, fruits and vegetables was more than I could have asked for. Up first from my travels over the 4th is...grilled peaches! I'd honestly never thought of grilling fruit before, but lately it seems like everyone's doing it - grilling watermelon (Jes - how'd that turn out?), pineapples, etc. I decided to try this recipe, and it went over pretty well (and more importantly, was super easy). Here's what you'll need:

  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 unpeeled peaches, halved, pitted
  • 1/3 cup white chocolate

Mix the melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Then toss your peaches around to get them good and covered. Grill on medium, cut side down for about 5 minutes, then turn them over, add the white chocolate into the cavity left from the pit and drizzle with remaining sauce. I left these on for probably another 10 minutes. You don't want to burn them, but you want to leave them on long enough to melt the chocolate and really get that grilled flavor in there. They came out great - the family really seemed to enjoy.

Bon chappétit!

PS. It's good to be back :)

  1. the best thing for grilled peaches is some vanilla ice cream and a simple raspberry sauce. just puree some raspberries and a little sugar to taste then put through a fine screen like a little strainer or something. absolutely perfect!
