How to Make Grilled Peaches with Vanilla Ice Cream and Honey Balsamic Drizzle

• Start with super-fresh peaches that are ripe yet still firm.  You don’t want them too ripe or they’ll crush in your hand while trying to work with them.
• Whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey and set aside.

• Cut them in half starting at the stem end.  Remove the pit.  I like to cut around the pit with a birds-beak knife, then scoop out the pit with a teaspoon.  Immediately brush with olive oil to prevent any oxidation.

• If grilling on your outdoor grill, be sure to clean it off well before grilling the peaches.  You don’t want your dessert tasting like your dinner!
• Place them on a grill or grill pan that has been preheated to medium-high.  Grill 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, flip, then grill another 2 to 3 minutes on the other.

• Top with a good quality vanilla ice cream….

• Drizzle with the honey – balsamic combination….

Mama!  You’ve got the perfect summer dessert!  A warm, lovely grilled fruit, cold ice cream and a sweet balsamic drizzle over the top.  Garnish with a fresh herb sprig such as fresh thyme, mint or lemon balm.  This one’s over-the-top easy and lovely!  Enjoy!
