Bacon Wrapped Grilled Peaches with Balsamic Glaze

Bacon Wrapped Grilled Peaches with Balsamic Glaze combine sweet, juicy peach wedges layered with aromatic basil and smoky bacon, finished with a tangy balsamic drizzle. The peaches are quartered, wrapped with basil leaves and bacon slices, then grilled over low heat until the bacon crisps and peaches soften. This results in a rich contrast of sweet and savory flavors along with a tender, smoky texture perfect as an appetizer or side dish during warm-weather meals.

Ingredients

  • 4 peach large
  • 12 ounces Bacon
  • 60 basil large leaves, plus more for garnish
  • extra-virgin olive oil
  • balsamic glaze , (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Set a grill to low heat and preheat for 10 minutes or so, brush the grill grates with a paper towel dabbed in oil. I use grapeseed oil.
  2. Wash and dry peaches. Cut each peach in half and then each half into 4 quarters. Place one large basil leaf on each side of the peaches. Cut the bacon slices in half. Wrap each peach slice and basil leaves with a slice of bacon. Pin the loose end of the bacon slice with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining peaches.
  3. Brush the bacon wrapped peaches lightly with olive oil so the bacon doesn't stick to the grill. Grill the peaches until the bacon is cooked, turning so all sides are evenly cooked, about 20 minutes.
  4. Transfer to a serving platter and remove toothpicks. Drizzle with store-bought or homemade balsamic glaze.
  5. Serve hot or at room temperature.
