Melissa Cookston's Cayenne Grilled Peaches​
Serves 4
I'm big on different flavors in the same dish. This has the sweetness of the brown sugar, the luxurious freshness of the peaches, and a little kick in the back from the cayenne.
​
Ingredients:
-
4 peaches
-
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 teaspoon cayenne
-
Whipped cream for serving
​
Method:
-
Prepare a hot grill.
-
Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, vanilla, and cayenne. Place the peach halves in a baking dish cut side up and spoon the sugar mixture over the peaches. Allow to sit for 20 minutes or until the sugar dissolves.
-
Place the peaches on the grill skin side down and cook for about 3 minutes or until they develop some char, and the sugar is slightly set. Turn over and grill for 1 minute, then quarter turn them to develop a nice diamond-shaped grill mark. Remove, place on serving plates, and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
