Summertime Desserts – Grilled Peaches, and the livin’ is easy!
Just in case you were wondering…..grilled peaches may be the best dessert around ( I’m a die hard chocoholic, and even I say that!!). Here in Georgia, we are starting to see an abundance of beautiful Georgia peaches. After a while, even I get tired of drippy sticky peach juice running down my chin. And besides, eating a whole peach isn’t exactly an elegant dessert.
But grilled peaches are….and they are so easy to make! I cut the peaches in half, take out the pit, brush them with a tiny bit of plain tasting oil (like Canola or Rice Bran) and plop them on a medium heated grill, cut side down. While my yummy peaches are sizzling, I mix some balsamic vinegar with brown sugar (2 parts vinegar to 1 part sugar) and heat up gently on the stove so the flavors mix and the vinegar becomes syrupy.
Now comes the good part – put some yummy vanilla ice cream in a bowl, top with the peaches, and drizzle the balsamic glaze over the whole thing. Easy as can be, elegant, and fabulously delicious. Enjoy!!
