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
- 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.
- 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.
