Grilled Peaches With Blackberry Sauce
These sweet, smoky grilled peaches meet a bright, tangy blackberry sauce for a refreshing treat. It’s a simple dessert that tastes wonderful on a warm day.
Key Ingredients & Tips for Grilling Peaches
- Ripe Peaches: Choose peaches that give a little when you press them, but aren’t too soft. This helps them hold up on the grill.
- Grilling Heat: Use medium-high heat for a short time to get nice char marks and soften the fruit without overcooking it.
- Fresh Blackberries: Fresh berries give the best flavor for the sauce. Frozen berries can work too, but you might need a little less water.
What You Need
- 2 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
⏱️ Time: 15 minutes🍽️ Yields: 2 servings
How to Make It
Step 1: Prep the Peaches
Carefully halve your peaches and remove the pit. Lightly brush the cut sides of each peach half with olive oil or melted butter. This helps prevent sticking and adds a bit of richness.
Step 2: Make the Blackberry Sauce
In a small pot, combine the fresh blackberries, water, and honey (if you’re using it). Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Once it starts to bubble, use a fork to mash the berries until they break down. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 3: Grill the Peaches
Heat your outdoor grill or an indoor grill pan to a medium-high temperature. Place the prepared peach halves cut-side down on the hot grill. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes. You’ll see nice grill marks appear, and the peaches should be slightly tender when done.
Step 4: Serve Warm
Carefully remove the grilled peaches from the grill and place them onto serving plates. Spoon the warm blackberry sauce generously over the top of each peach half. If you like, sprinkle a tiny pinch of cinnamon over them before serving.
📝 Final Note
These grilled peaches are best enjoyed warm, right after they come off the grill. The warm fruit and sauce are simply wonderful together.
Grilled Peaches With Cinnamon Honey Sauce
Enjoy warm, tender grilled peaches with a simple, sweet spiced sauce. This recipe highlights the natural goodness of summer peaches.
Key Ingredients & Tips for Grilling Peaches
- Peach Firmness: Slightly firm peaches work best for grilling. They keep their shape nicely and get a good texture.
- Honey Quality: Using a good quality honey makes a big difference in how delicious your sauce tastes.
- Cinnamon Boost: If you can, use freshly ground cinnamon. It has a stronger, more fragrant aroma that really shines.
What You Need
- 2 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
⏱️ Time: 15 minutes🍽️ Yields: 2 servings
How to Make It
Step 1: Prep the Peaches
Start by halving your peaches and carefully removing the pits. Take a small brush and lightly coat the cut sides of each peach half with olive oil or melted butter. This helps them not stick to the grill.
Step 2: Make the Cinnamon Honey Sauce
In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, ground cinnamon, and a tiny pinch of salt. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well combined and the sauce is smooth.
Step 3: Grill the Peaches
Heat your outdoor grill or an indoor grill pan to a medium-high setting. Place the prepared peach halves cut-side down on the hot grill. Cook them for about 3 to 4 minutes, until you see clear grill marks and the peaches feel slightly soft when gently pressed.
Step 4: Serve With Sauce
Transfer the warm grilled peaches to individual plates. Generously drizzle the homemade cinnamon honey sauce over each peach half. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, sweet flavors.
📝 Final Note
You can store any leftover cinnamon honey sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. It’s great on other fruits or even yogurt!
