Ingredients
For the Glaze:
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 lime juice only
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Peaches:
- 6 fresh peaches medium-sized
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Optional Garnishes:
- cracked black pepper
- fresh basil
Instructions
Make the Glaze:
- Add the water, brown sugar, and salt to a medium saucepan. Stir together well. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches a syrupy consistency (about 12-15 minutes).
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lime juice and vanilla extract.
Cup of Yum
Grill the Peaches:
- Heat the grill to medium heat.
- While the grill is heating, wash and split the peaches lengthwise (no need to peel them). Remove the pits.
- Brush the cut side of the peaches lightly with half the olive oil.
- Place the peaches, cut side down, on the grill rack. Brush the skin side lightly with the remaining olive oil.
- Cook each side for 3-5 minutes, turning once. Use a spatula to avoid tearing the peaches.
- When the peaches are juicy and the flesh has softened, remove them to a serving dish. Tent with foil to keep warm.
To Serve:
- Brush the glaze over the peaches. Serve with optional garnishes of cracked black pepper and fresh basil or with a small scoop of vanilla or peach ice cream.
Notes
- Grilling the peaches in halves rather than slices ensures that they won't slip through the grill rack.
- The peaches should be soft but not falling apart. The skin may be separating from the flesh and can be discarded if you like.
- Serve this as either a side dish (with grilled chicken or pork) or dessert.
- Any variety of peach will work for grilling. I prefer freestone peaches only because they're easier to prep.
