Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons good balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 peaches halved and pitted
  • Olive oil
  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Fresh thyme sprigs for garnish

Instructions

Drizzle

  • Whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey in a small bowl. Set aside.

Prepare the Peaches

  • Run a sharp knife along each peach's seam to halve them. Remove the pit and immediately brush with olive oil to prevent any oxidation.

Grill the Peaches

  • Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the peaches, cut side down on the grill and cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes or until grill marks appear. Flip the peaches and cook another 3 to 4 minutes or until skins are charred and peaches are tender.

To Serve

  • Place peaches on a platter. Top with vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with the honey-balsamic combination. Alternately, place in individual serving bowls and garnish with a small sprig of thyme.

Notes

TIPS:
  • Use peaches that are ripe yet still firm.  You don’t want them to be too ripe, or they’ll crush in your hand while you try to work with them.
  • To remove the pit, I like to cut around the pit with a birds-beak knife, then scoop out the pit with a teaspoon.
