    I can never resist stone fruit, and especially when grilled. It's warm, softened, and juicy. If you add some brown sugar, like this recipe, you may get a slight crust from the sugar.

    And if your grill is still hot from cooking dinner, this dessert can be ready super quick.

    One of the wonderful things about grilling fruit is that the heat of the grill softens the fruit, and intensifies the natural sugars. This makes grilling a perfect way to use underripe fruit.

    Other fruit desserts or side dishes I like to make include grilled watermelon and this grilled pineapple dessert.

    Ingredients for Grilled Peaches

    • Peaches - freestone peaches are best, since the flesh easily releases from the pit. Also, slightly under-ripe peaches grill better as they hold their shape better under heat. Fully ripe peaches tend to collapse. Nectarines, a close cousin to peaches, can be substituted.
    • Ginger - this recipe works best with either purchased Ginger Paste or Lightly Dried Ginger. Both are available from Gourmet Garden, and I use both products for lots of recipes.
    • Cookies - I use Tate's Gluten-Free Ginger Zinger Cookies and also love Effie's Ginger Biscuits. I don't crumble the Ginger Biscuits since they're small.
    • Ice cream - both plain vanilla and caramel ice creams work great with grilled peaches.

    Recommended Equipment

    Cookina BBQ Sheets - these are reusable non-stick mats that are easy to clean. This makes grill cleanup a snap, and are perfect for grilling tender and / or small foods that might otherwise fall through the grates. They're suitable for smokers and gas, charcoal and electric barbecues.

    Stovetop Grill Pan - if you don't have a BBQ grill, you can grill peaches on the stovetop, using a grill pan over medium-high heat.

    • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
    • 2 teaspoon Lightly Dried Ginger from Gourmet Garden

    Instructions

    • Place the peaches on the Grilling Sheet, with the cut sides facing down. Reduce the heat to medium, close the lid of the grill, and grill for 20 minutes, or until softened.

      Interesting information about peaches. I was wondering what has happen to the fuzzy peel of the peaches I ate as a kid. As you may have realized from my avatar/logo - I love peaches! So anything with peaches gets my vote. The grilled peaches/ice cream and all the ginger flavor toppings are just absolutely perfect. I'll take this for supper thank you.
