Grilled Peaches With Wine Syrup Two Ways Recipes

SIMPLEST GRILLED PEACHES

Steps:

• Heat a gas grill to medium. If you are cooking on a charcoal grill, wait until the fire has died down to medium to low heat.
• Cut the peaches along their seams, all the way around, and twist their halves off their pits. Brush the cut sides of the peaches with olive oil and grill, cut side down, until the fruit has developed grill marks and started to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Brush the tops with oil, turn over and move to the side of the grill to continue cooking over indirect heat, another 4 to 5 minutes. You can add flavor by brushing them with maple syrup and bourbon, or molasses and butter. But if they are perfect peaches, they shouldn't need anything at all.

PESHE AL VINO - PEACHES AND WINE

Steps:

• Peel the peaches, pit them, and slice into bite-size wedges (you should have about 4 cups). Place in a large bowl and cover with the wine. Sprinkle the sugar on top and gently stir. Cover and leave at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours before serving.

GRILLED PEACHES WITH CINNAMON SUGAR BUTTER

Steps:

• In a small bowl add the butter and stir until smooth. Add the cinnamon sugar, granulated sugar and salt and mix until combined.
• Heat grill to high. Brush peaches with oil and grill until golden brown and just cooked through. Top each with a few teaspoons of the butter and garnish with mint leaves.

GRILLED PEACHES WITH MOONSHINE SYRUP AND SORGHUM YOGURT

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the cut sides of the peaches with sorghum and sprinkle with salt. Melt the butter in the hot grill pan, then lay the peaches cut-side down in the pan to start charring. Be careful not to move them, because the sugar in the sorghum will create beautiful grill marks. Cook until the edges of the peaches are bubbling and caramelized, about 2 minutes, then turn 90 degrees and cook 1 to 2 more minutes to create diamond grill marks. Remove the peaches and set aside.
• Mix together the yogurt and sorghum in a bowl.
• Make the moonshine syrup: Combine the sugar, moonshine, vanilla, lemon zest and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• To serve, divide the peaches among bowls, spoon in the syrup and then place a large dollop of yogurt on top.

GRILLED PEACHES IN WINE

Steps:

• Slice peaches in half lengthwise and remove pits. Place peach halves flat side down on pre-heated grill, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill when grill marks appear and allow to cool. Slice into wedges and serve in a glass of red or white wine.

GRILLED PEACHES WITH BLACK PEPPER AND BASIL-LIME SYRUP

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the 1/2 cup brown sugar with the water and stir until dissolved. Turn off the heat and add the lime juice and basil leaves. Let stand for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour, then discard the basil leaves.
• Light a grill or preheat a grill pan over medium heat; lightly oil the grates.
• Lightly sprinkle the peaches with brown sugar and grill cut side down until dark brown grill marks form, about 2 minutes per cut side. Transfer the peaches to bowls and season with a little black pepper. Spoon some of the syrup on top, sprinkle with basil leaves and serve.

GRILLED PEACHES

Steps:

• Right before cooking, slice the peaches along the seam and pit them. Coat them in oil for cooking, being sure to give them a thick, even coating. I prefer to toss them in a gallon size Ziplock bag along with the oil and gently rub the oil into the peach. This reduces mess, which is critical when you might be in the backyard, far from access to a sink. Don't use extra virgin olive oil, as the smoke point is lower and may cause the peaches to taste burnt and smoky. Grill the peaches skin side up for 5-6 minutes. When they begin to sizzle and shine, turn them over onto their skin and cook for another 6-7 minutes, or until they soften and lose a little bit of their shape. Serve immediately, with or without a garnish of whipped cream or ice cream. If you don't have room to eat all the peaches you've grilled, they can be reheated in the microwave for about 30 seconds, and they still taste great the second time around.
