I don’t know about you, but when I think of summer fruits, I think of peaches. My favorite way to eat a peach is grilled. Warm, soft, and slightly nutty from the heat of the grill…they really are one of life’s simple pleasures. What sends these peaches over the edge are my all time favorite ingredients: cinnamon and honey with some fresh mint added for good measure. Versatile and oh so decadent, these warm grilled peaches could not be easier to prepare and they made the most glorious ending to your favorite summer meal. 

When I was thinking about grilling these peaches, I thought of about a hundred different ways to add a little zing to them. And then it dawned on me. Why not use my all time favorite ingredient? Honey. I am obsessed with honey. It is sticky, it is sweet, and it is absolutely delicious. And what just so happens to pair perfectly with peaches? You guessed it: honey!

How To Make It

I love how easy and fuss free it is to make this delicious summer dessert!

  1. Begin by preheating your grill on high for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, cut your peaches crossways following the natural line on the peach. Separate and remove the pits. 
  3.  In a shallow bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons honey, 1/16 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/16 teaspoon of salt. Be sure to re whisk this mixture just before you coat the peach in it.
  4. Dip each peach half in the honey mixture until it’s completely coated.
  5. At this point your grill should be hot enough. Open the lid and keep the heat on high. Place the peach halves cut side down and grill for 3-4 minutes, or until grill marks are achieved. 
  6. At this point your grill should be hot enough. Open the lid and keep the heat on high. Place the peach halves cut side down and grill for 3-4 minutes, or until grill marks are achieved. 

Do peaches need to be ripe to grill?

Ideally it’s great to have fresh peaches to grill, they are sweeter and the flavor is much more pronounced. However, it can be really hard to get your hands on perfectly ripe peaches and that’s where the magic of the grill comes in! The heat from the grill will intensify the natural sugars in the peaches to make underripe fruit sweeter and softer.

How do you remove peach pits?

You remove the pits from peaches, in a similar way you would remove a stone from an avocado. Cut the peaches in half along the natural line, then twist each half in opposite directions. Remove the stone with the tip of a knife.

Cook’s Tips

  1. Be sure to choose peaches that are ripe but still firm. That extra firmness will keep your peaches from disintegrating on the grill.
  2. Peaches stick very easily on a hot grill, especially with that honey acting like a glue. Grab a clean, old dish towel and ball up one corner. Soak the corner of the towel in a neutral oil, such as avocado oil. Carefully coat your grill grates until they are covered in the oil. This will prevent your peaches from sticking and pulling apart.
  3. The keys to achieving beautiful grill marks are time and patience. Don’t mess with the peaches once you’ve put them down on the heat. If you try and lift them off too early, they will stick and pull apart. Cook for at least 4 minutes before you flip them. 

Serving Suggestions

You can eat these grilled peaches as is, or serve them with vanilla bean ice cream, whipped cream, or anything cool and creamy that you like.

Variations:

  1. Use maple syrup in place of the honey. 
  2. Top them with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for an extra sweet treat.
  3. You can also serve them with some plain Greek yogurt, sweetened with a little honey and add a small pinch of cinnamon.
