The decadent days of summer are definitely here. At least at my house:) I’ve been seeing lots of images of grilled peaches lately and I decided it was high time to give it a try. This dish was so easy. I had no idea, but grilled peaches make for a super simple and delicious summer dessert. A bite of a fresh peach is like tasting summer itself.
My boys think this dish is like eating peach cobbler without the crust. I have to admit it’s an accurate portrayal except that the grilled aspect of this dish adds an extra dimension.
I served my peaches with a big dollop of cinnamon honey butter on top and a little extra cinnamon sprinkled on as well. I heard no complaints from my crowd:)
I adapted my cinnamon honey butter recipe from here. But I completely winged the grilling of the peaches. It is so uncomplicated. I’ve included the recipe below just in case you want to give this a try during one of our last summer days in August.
Grilled Peaches with Cinnamon Honey Butter
5 or 6 ripe peaches- cut in half, pit removed
olive oil for brushing on cut side of peaches
I placed the peaches cut side down on the grill after they had been brushed with olive oil. I let them cook for about 5-7 minutes. I took a peak at about midway through to see how they were looking. I determined their readiness by simply looking at the degree of grill marks. I have no idea if this is how it is supposed to done, but it seemed to work for me.
Cinnamon Honey Butter
1/2 pound unsalted butter at room temperature
7 1/2 tablespoons of honey (more or less depending upon preference)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
a pinch of nutmeg
additional cinnamon to sprinkle on top of peaches
To create the butter its as easy as mixing all the ingredients together. You can use a large industrial sized mixer, but I used my handheld immersion blender and it worked great.
Once the grilled peaches are ready simply apply a dollop of butter on top of the peaches and wait for the butter to melt into gooey yumminess. I also sprinkled a bit more cinnamon on top of each individual peach slice. This recipe can easily be tweaked for individual preference.
These sound amazing. I’ll be trying this soon. Thanks.
Oh my gosh, they look delicious!!! THanks for the recipe!
Wow! Do these ever look good! Thank you!
This looks so delicious. We have so much fresh peach I have no idea what to do with it. Thanks for the lovely idea. I’ve been grilling my fruits lately.
This looks amazing and I live next door to a peach orchard! Trying it for sure.
Ooh, haven’t really had enough peaches yet this summer… gotta pick some up to try this!
those look delicious. i never thought about grilling peaches. what a great idea.
These sound great, I bet you could also do the3se on a stove on stove top if the weather prohibits grilling and theyjust sound so yummy, I wish I grilled more often, my son grilled watermelon when we visited him in San Diego this summer and it was great changed the taste entirely.l.
This looks so yummy I have an indoor grill I am going to try this for breakfast
It is a pretty dish and seems easy enough. I will make it for my hubby he likes peaches. I never was a fan.
What an excellent idea, thank you for sharing this recipe, love peaches!
Yum that looks so good, I’m going to have to try this one out! My whole family loves peaches, so I’m sure they’ll thank me.
That sounds fantastic! I wish I hadn’t lost my peach trees in the last round of storms. Maybe I need to hit the farmer’s market!
omg tht looks amazing, i love it, im so making this, i cant wait to try it out, great post thanks a bunch
Oh my! These look deliciously addictive! I can’t wait to try these!
Wow ! At first when I read the title I was like EEEW
These look awesome !!! =) Will definitely be trying these!
I have never tried grilled fruit, but your pictures have me salivating!
Just made these! We don’t have a grill at our apartment, so I cooked them in a skillet with olive oil rubbed on them. They turned out well! I only hand mixed the butter. I think the immerser would have helped. My fiance’s only complaint was that it tasted really buttery. It is true. We split this in half and it still used a whole stick of butter! It was still delicious. Vanilla ice cream is a perfect side with this!
Yum! I am goign to have to make those. These are great as i am trying to lose weight.
This looks so good! And should be a healthier option for a dessert.
those peaches look so good.i love peaches and I will try these.
we have a peach tree in our yard, and i am always looking for good recipes to use them in, thanks!
I love peaches and this looks delicious. I can not wait to try it. Now I have use for the jar of honey I just bought from a local farmer.
That looks so good. I love peaches and usually just eat them as is but I think I will try this.
I never would have thought about the pairing of peaches and cinnamon honey butter, It looks really delicious and I am tempted to try it next time we break out our grill.
These look so good I am always looking for something new to wow everyone with when they come over for a cookout.
these look so delicious..I have never heard of grilled peaches but I will be trying this
Oh man.. this is definitely worth trying next time I have peaches.
That looks delicious.. I love peaches.
