Peaches lightly sprinkled with brown sugar, then grilled to caramelize and to bring out their natural sweetness. Top with a drizzle of honey and vanilla ice cream before serving.   [Image] It's summer time! And my absolute favorite time of year to enjoy in season fruits. Blackberries, cherries, strawberries and peaches are always on the top of my list for must have summer fruits. Peaches are my favorite! And I enjoy eating them alone, in a cobbler, in a pie, cake or homemade preserves.  
Texas is hot to say the least, so summer time is also grilling time at our house. Last month during my visit to Walmart in Bentonville, I attended a grilling presentation where I picked up a few grilling tip and tricks from Chef Ernst Servantes, Western and Kingsford. 

[Image] I learned all about the different Kingsford charcoals, smoking using cedar planks on a grill, cooking the perfect steak, grilling vegetables and how to makes these delicious Easy Grilled Peaches. The best part about the presentation is that we got to enjoy all the yummy foods we learned to grill.
My favorite dishes were the Grilled Mixed Vegetable Salad, Lemon Orzo Pasta Salad, Grilled Tomato Crostini, and the beautiful grilled peaches pictured above. I found myself hunting down Chef Ernst just to find out how to make these yummy peaches to share with y'all.

Grilled peaches taste just like peach cobbler without the crust. my favorite part is how the brown sugar caramelizes when grilled. Serve these grilled peaches as side or a dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Over the summer I will be featuring a few more recipes that I learned to make at the grilling event, so stayed tuned.

[Image] These are the ingredients you will need: 4-6 fresh peaches, brown sugar, honey or agave nectar, cinnamon (not pictured), and vanilla ice cream.

[Image] Start by preheating your outdoor grill with Charcoal.  Rinse the peaches, pat dry and then cut each peach in half.  

[Image] Coat each half with 1 tablespoons (less if you want) of brown sugar. 

[Image] Allow the peaches to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or until the brown sugar has dissolved.

[Image]  Place the cut side of the peaches down on a hot grill (in direct heat) for about 5 - 10-minutes or until a bit of char has appeared.
[Image] Flip the peaches over and grill the outside of the peaches for an additional 3-5 minutes.
[Image] Remove from grill, drizzle with honey or agave nectar, and then slice each half into slices. Cool slightly and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Stop by your local Walmart and pick up a few locally grown peaches and make this recipe. You won't be sorry!
