Millions Of Grilled Peaches, Grilled Peaches For Me

When I say Everything Is Better Grilled, that also includes dessert. While there are many desserts suitable for the grill, during the summer months, when peaches are in season, there is nothing like a warm grilled peach with vanilla ice cream after a savory BBQ. The reason why this dessert works so well is because once your grilling is finished and the charcoal is still at a medium heat level and is dying down, you can throw these peaches on and have a great dessert. The only special instruction you have to keep in mind is to make sure you clean the grill grate before you put the peaches on.

Ingredients:

6-10 whole peaches, not yet ripe

Step 1: Halve and pit the peaches

Step 2: Score peaches while being careful not to pierce the skin.

Step 3: Once the grill grate is cleaned, place peaches flesh side down. The amount of time this takes will depend on how hot your coals are.

Step 4: Once you have grill marks on the peaches, and the natural sugars have started to caramelize, turn the peaches over.

Step 5: You will know the peaches are done because you will see the juices on the peach start to bubble

Step 6: To finish the peaches you have a few options. Option 1: Move the peaches over to the indirect side of the grill and cover the grill. This method will add ‘smokiness’ to the peaches while keeping them warm while you and your guests eat inside. Option 2: Wrap your peaches in aluminum foil and keep them in a warm oven until you are ready to serve.

These are best served with either vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
