We've been enjoying some sultry summer temps - you hear a few muffled complaints about the heat and humidity, but most of us are pretty careful not to gripe too much... a few weeks and our glorious summer will be on its way out the door and we'll be hunkering down for one of our famous, drawn out prairie winters!My latest fav summer dessert is so easy you will not believe it - GRILLED PEACHES! I have enjoyed grilled pineapple, but never had tasted grilled peaches until very recently when one of my dearest friends served them at her daughter's post-convocation party. I always feel simplicity is best in life and in food - you want to enjoy the honest flavours of fresh, quality ingredients versus overly-fussy concoctions -- that's just a given:)
Here's how it was done at my friends' BBQ ... hope you will try and enjoy. After sampling the grilled peaches, I am thinking that kabobs with teriyaki-marinated pork or chicken; along with peaches, pineapple, mushrooms and sweet bell peppers would make a killer combo (do you sense a culinary sequel???)!
Gail's Yummy Grilled Peaches
Ingredients
6 large peaches, halved and pitted
2 litre brick of vanilla ice cream
Smucker's caramel sundae sauce (or Starbucks caramel sauce)
Place peaches cut side down on a hot grill for 3-5 minutes, turn and grill the back side for an additional 3-5 minutes - watch carefully, as the finished product should have light grill marks, but should not be charred. Consistency is tender to the fork, but with firmness - not mushy!
Set grilled peaches aside to cool slightly while you slice the brick ice cream into squares. Place one or two peach halves cut side up on the ice cream, drizzle with caramel sauce and serve. YUM! Like pie without the heaviness - just a little piece of heaven for your taste buds xo!
