Summer is the perfect time for this easy and luscious fruit.  Served as a side dish or dessert, peaches make the perfect light and sweet accompaniment to any meal.  A wide variety of other fruits—plums, apricots, nectarines—can be grilled in this way outside or indoors on a grill pan, or roasted in the oven.

Grilled Peaches

Ingredients:

4 or more firm peaches or other fruit, cut in half and stoned or pitted.

Olive oil for brushing the grill or grill pan.

½ teaspoon Cinnamon or ¼ teaspoon cardamom

2 Tablespoons butter

¼ cup Honey

Whipped cream (optional)

Directions:

Combine honey, butter, and either cinnamon or cardamom in microwavable measuring cup. Heat honey mixture in microwave or on top of stove—enough to make the butter melt.

Prepare outdoor grill for hot fire, or heat a grill pan on top of the stove, or set the oven at 400 degrees.  If using the outdoor grill or indoor grill pan, brush the rack with olive oil.  If using the oven, spray the baking dish with cooking spray.

Brush honey mixture over fruit and grill, cut side down on grill rack or pan for 3-4 minutes, until nicely grill marked—OR if roasting in oven, prepare fruit the same way and set in baking dish cut side down, roasting for 10-20 minutes, until lightly browned and beginning to caramelize.

Lift off grill or grill pan or baking dish with tongs and arrange on a serving plate.

If using whipped cream, allow guests to spoon their own or spoon a couple of Tablespoons into center of each peach.  Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.
