Grilled Peaches With Tangy Blackberry Sauce
These grilled peaches are a simple, sweet treat for any occasion. The warm peaches pair perfectly with a bright, homemade blackberry sauce that’s easy to make.
Key Ingredients & Tips
- Pick Ripe Peaches: Choose peaches that are slightly soft when you gently squeeze them. They will be juicier and sweeter when grilled.
- Blackberry Sauce Quick Prep: You can make the blackberry sauce ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. This makes assembly super fast when you’re ready to grill.
What You Need
- 2 large ripe peaches
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
⏱️ Time: 15 minutes🍽️ Yields: 2 servings
How to Make It
Step 1: Prep Peaches and Grill Them
Wash and halve your peaches, removing the pit. Brush the cut sides with olive oil or melted butter. Heat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the peaches cut-side down on the hot grill. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, or until they have nice grill marks and are slightly softened.
Step 2: Make the Blackberry Sauce
While the peaches grill, put the blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and salt into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring often, until the berries break down and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. You can press the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother sauce if you like, but it’s great with the seeds too.
Step 3: Serve Warm Peaches with Sauce
Take the grilled peaches off the grill. Place them on plates and spoon the warm blackberry sauce over the top. You can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you wish!
📝 Final Note
Leftover blackberry sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It’s great on yogurt too!
Sweet Grilled Peaches with Warm Cinnamon Honey Sauce
These grilled peaches have a wonderful warmth from cinnamon and honey. It’s a comforting dessert that’s quick to put together and always a hit.
Key Ingredients & Tips
- Honey Quality Matters: Use good quality honey for the best flavor in your sauce. Local honey often has a richer taste and thicker texture.
- Don’t Over-Grill: Peaches should be tender but still hold their shape. Over-grilling can make them mushy, so keep a close eye on them while cooking.
What You Need
- 2 large ripe peaches
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon warm water (if needed for thinning)
⏱️ Time: 15 minutes🍽️ Yields: 2 servings
How to Make It
Step 1: Prep Peaches for Grilling
Wash and halve your peaches, removing the pit. Brush the cut sides with olive oil or melted butter. This helps them not stick and gives a nice crust.
Step 2: Grill the Peaches to Perfection
Heat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the peaches cut-side down on the hot grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until they have lovely grill marks and are tender when poked with a fork.
Step 3: Mix the Cinnamon Honey Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, ground cinnamon, and optional nutmeg. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a tablespoon of warm water to thin it slightly until it drizzles nicely.
Step 4: Serve Warm with Sauce
Carefully remove the grilled peaches from the grill. Place them on serving plates and drizzle generously with the warm cinnamon honey sauce. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of plain Greek yogurt is a nice addition.
📝 Final Note
You can make the cinnamon honey sauce in advance and gently warm it before serving. Store any extra sauce in a sealed jar at room temperature.
