Grilled Peaches
Description
This recipe begins by blending melted butter with cinnamon, brown sugar, and a pinch of fine sea salt, which is then used to baste peaches halved and pitted. The peaches are first grilled cut-side down on medium heat to develop grill marks and a slight char, then basted and flipped to cook gently over indirect heat while absorbing the spiced butter mixture.
The grilling process softens the peach flesh and concentrates natural sugars, complemented by the cinnamon-browned butter which enhances warmth and complexity. Serving the cooked peaches with cold, creamy vanilla bean ice cream, fresh raspberries, and mint leaves balances the dessert with varying textures and temperature contrasts.
Peaches can be grilled a few minutes in advance and kept warm on the grill for up to 30 minutes before serving, allowing flexible timing for guests or meal coordination.
