• Honey
• Vanilla ice cream

How to Pick the Perfect Peach

When you’re picking out peaches for this recipe, follow these tips so you get the best ones!

• You want to find one that is firm, but also ripe and smells like a peach. This means the peach will be sturdy enough to grill and won’t fall apart. 
• To tell if your peach is ripe give it a gentle squeeze. You want it to have a little bit of give. 
• The next thing you look for is the color. It should be a deep golden yellow, not pale. 
• The last thing to look for is the texture. A ripe peach will have shriveled skin around the stem. 

Once you have your fresh peaches and other ingredients, it’s time to make this amazing summer dessert.

How to Grill Peaches

• Prep Grill – Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or a grill pan in the oven. 
• Prep Peaches – Brush the inside of the cut peaches with oil
• Grill – Lay them cut side down on the grill grates and close the lid. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear, then flip the peaches and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the peaches are warm all the way through and soft.
• Top – Remove the peaches from the grill and sprinkle with cinnamon then add a drizzle of honey. Top each peach half with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and serve immediately.

Variations of this Grilled Peaches Recipe!

What I love about this recipe is that you can change it up depending on what you like! So here are some other ways to serve grilled peaches:

• Sprinkle chopped and toasted pecans or walnuts on top.
• A sprinkle of granola for crunch.
• Grate a little fresh ginger over the top.
• Use whipped cream instead of ice cream on top. 
• Vanilla Yogurt or Greek yogurt on top is great too. 
• A dash of nutmeg compliments the cinnamon nicely.
• Top the warm grilled peaches with a pat of butter.
• Instead of honey, drizzle caramel sauce or chocolate on top.
• Top a salad with grilled peaches.

Can you grill other types of stone fruit?

Yes, this method works with other stone fruit, too! Try grilling fresh nectarines, plums, or apricots. If the fruit is small, I recommend slicing it in half and threading the pieces on the skewers to make it easier to grill them.

Grilled Peach Salad!

Skip the ice cream and turn these grilled peaches into a salad. Simply grill the peaches as stated in recipe then cool and chop. Toss them into a salad with fresh spinach or arugula, crispy pancetta or bacon and a sprinkling of crumbled feta.

Top with an vinaigrette dressing and you have the perfect summer salad that’s bursting with flavor, light and healthy!
