Brown Sugar Grilled Peaches
Description
This recipe uses freestone or clingstone peaches halved and pitted, each brushed with melted unsalted butter and coated with brown sugar and a touch of cinnamon. Grilling the peaches cut-side up first allows the sugar to begin melting and caramelizing, then grilling on the other side until golden brown and tender intensifies their sweetness and imparts a slight char.
The contrast between the soft, warm peach flesh and the caramelized exterior creates a pleasant texture contrast. Adding a serving of ice cream complements the warm peaches with creamy coolness, making an easy-to-prepare dessert. Alternatively, skipping the sugar adaptation pairs grilled peaches nicely as a side or salad ingredient.
Handling freestone peaches involves removing the pit by twisting the halves apart, while clingstone peaches require cutting across the middle and using a spoon to remove the pit carefully. Leftover grilled peaches reheat well and may be added to salads or eaten on their own.
Ingredients
- 4 medium peaches halved and pitted
- 2 tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon or to taste
- Ice cream for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Brush cut side of peaches with butter and sprinkle with brown sugar. Rub the brown sugar into the butter so it sticks. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Place peaches cut-side up and grill for 3 minutes. Flip over and grill for 3-5 minutes or until browned and tender.
- Serve warm with ice cream.
Notes
- For clingstone peaches, cut across the middle and use a spoon to carefully remove the pit.
- Omit brown sugar when serving peaches as a salad addition or side to grilled pork.
- Leftovers reheat well in the microwave or can be chopped into salads.
- Avoid waxing peaches by scrubbing under hot water before preparation if desired.
