Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe peaches
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).
Wash and dry the peaches, then cut them in half and remove the pits.
Brush the cut sides of the peaches lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar, orange juice, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow the glaze to reduce slightly over 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.
Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the peaches begin to soften.
Flip the peaches and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the skin side. Remove from the grill and set aside.
Drizzle the warm balsamic orange glaze over the grilled peaches, letting it soak into the fruit slightly.
Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
