It’s hot, humid and gloriously sunny so you know I gotta get some dessert on the grill, and my grilled peaches recipe is just the move. I find the juiciest ripest peaches in season and grill them up until they are caramelized and smoky deliciousness. Then I make a delish caramel sauce to drizzle on top. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and your whole life is made.

How to Grill Peaches
Step 1: Heat your grill and grease grill grates with vegetable oil or spray. If using a grill pan, heat on the stove with medium heat. Whisk together brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. Brush butter over the cut sides.
Step 2: Add peaches cut side down to grill once hot. Cook until grill marks appear (about 2-3 minutes) then turn over and cook an additional 2 minutes.
Step 3: Flip back over the peaches cut side up and sprinkle on the sugar mixture. Drizzle more melted butter on top of the sugar to allow it to begin to melt down. Continue to cook until peaches are soft and sugar has transformed into a glaze consistency.
Step 4: If making the caramel, melt butter in a saucepan. Add brown sugar, heavy cream and peach fruitscato or nectar and whisk constantly over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil and allow to boil for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in a pinch of salt and allow to cool. Serve over your peaches with ice cream.

Recipe Help
- Pick Good Peaches: When buying fresh peaches, look for vibrant tones and colors on the skin. We want a nice orange, pink or red tone and no green coloration. Finally, be sure to give them a squeeze; they should have a slight give to them.
- Keep Your Eye on that Caramel: Don’t move! Caramel is something that needs to be carefully watched and constantly whisked so it doesn’t burn.
- Without a Grill: You can use a grill pan over your stovetop to get those gorgeous grill marks still.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve them in salads or as a stunning side dish with other grilled fare. They are also great for breakfast with yogurt.

This recipe is yummy.
Another way is to grill you peaches, sprinkle cavity with blue cheese in the cavity, drizzle with honey & a sprinkle of black pepper! Sounds weird but SO GOOD!
Thanks for sharing your recipe! This is a delicious GRILLED PEACHES.
I bought four peaches at the farm stand yesterday. Husband and I ate two yesterday. I am headed out this afternoon to buy a bottle of Barefoot. Cooking on the grill, dinner on the deck! Going to be a beautiful night, not too warm. Sit out, watch the animal activity in the bean/corn fields and the stars come out to wink at us. Relax and forget the country’s problems for a while.
Thanks, Grandbaby
