Ingredients
Scale
- 4 firm, ripe peaches
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon water
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese OR 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Cut the peaches in half lengthwise and remove the pits.
- Brush the cut sides of the peaches lightly with olive oil.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Place the peaches cut-side down on the oiled grill grates.
- Grill for 4 to 5 minutes until distinct grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly.
- While the peaches grill, mix the honey, water, and salt in a small bowl to create a thin glaze.
- Flip the peaches and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes until heated through.
- Remove the peaches from the grill and immediately brush the cut sides generously with the honey glaze.
- Serve two peach halves per person, topped with a dollop of mascarpone cheese or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For mascarpone, you can lightly sweeten it with a teaspoon of powdered sugar if desired, but it is good served plain.
- If you do not have a grill, you can use a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
- Select peaches that are firm enough to hold their shape during grilling.
