Grilled Peaches with Honey and Balsamic Glaze Recipe
Ingredients:
4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Fresh mint leaves, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. Brush the cut sides of the peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking on the grill.
Place the peaches cut side down on the preheated grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes or until you achieve distinct grill marks. Flip the peaches and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened but still hold their shape.
Prepare the Glaze:
In a small bowl, mix together honey and balsamic vinegar to create the glaze.
Brush the grilled side of each peach half with the honey and balsamic glaze. Allow the glazed side to cook for an additional minute on the grill until the glaze caramelizes slightly.
Serve:
Remove the grilled peaches from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top. Serve with ice cream and garnish with mint leaves.
The combination of smoky grilled flavor, sweet honey, and tangy balsamic creates a perfect balance of taste and texture.
This grilled peaches recipe is a simple yet elegant dessert that captures the essence of summer. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with ice cream, it's a delightful way to savor the natural sweetness of ripe peaches heightened by the flavors of the grill and the honey-balsamic glaze.
