Cinnamon Grilled Peaches

 CINNAMON GRILLED PEACHES

Method: direct grilling
Serves 4

• 4 large ripe freestone peaches

 

• 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted buttter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup dark rum
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• a pinch of salt

1. Cut the peaches in half, running the knife in a circular motion around the peach to the stone. Twist the halves in opposite directions to separate them. Pop out the stone with a spoon and discard. Cut each peach half in half. 2. Prepare the glaze. Combine the butter, sugar, rum, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan and boil until thick and syrupy, 5 minutes. 3. Set up your grill for direct grilling and preheat to high. Brush and oil the grill grate. 4. Grill the peaches until nicely browned on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side, basting with the bourbon butter. Serve at once. Peach or vanilla ice cream makes a great accompaniment!
