Cuisine: American
Servings (change as needed): 6

Ingredients

  • 6 ripe peaches
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or maple syrup (brown sugar or white is fine)
  • pinch ground cinnamon, nutmeg or cardamom (optional)

Instructions

  • HEAT GRILL to medium-high temperature, about 450F/232C.
  • PREPARED PEACHES AND SEASONING: Wash the peaches, slice around the middle with a paring knife, separate the halves and remove the pits. To cut halves, I slice around the seam, twist each half in the opposite direction to separate. Microwave butter and sugar in a small microwavable dish. Stir to blend. Set aside.
  • GRILL PEACHES: Spray or brush grill and flesh side of the peaches with oil. Place peaches on grill grates, cut sides of the peaches, close lid and grill for about 2-3 minutes (check to see if you have some grill marks. Turn over using a spatula or tongs, brush with butter-sugar mixture and continue to heat another 2-3 minutes depending on the size of the peach. Peaches should still hold their shape well. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  1. Variations
    • Instead of butter and sugar, you can add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup
    • Add a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg or cardamom
    • Drizzle on maple balsamic dressing or honey hot sauce.
    • Garnish with chopped mint leaves if you like.
  2. Make Ahead: This recipe can be made a couple of hours ahead. Serve at room temperature or, if desired, warm the peaches in the microwave for 45 seconds. I do this as I prefer warm peaches. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
