Preparation

Step 1

CARAMEL:
In a large saucepan, mix together sugar, water and maple syrup. Place over medium heat, and stir with a whisk until the sugar has dissolved.

Once dissolved, stir occasionally, but don't let it burn. It should be bubbly at the edges and start to turn a few shades darker. If it seems to be bubbling wildly, then lower the heat. Simmer for about 15 minutes.

Mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and slowly add the coconut milk, mixing with a fork to thoroughly mix the cornstarch.

Once the caramel turns a deep honey brown, slowly stream in the coconut milk, whisking constantly, then mix in the coconut oil, ginger and salt.

Cook for another 7 minutes or so, so that the cornstarch thickens the caramel a bit. Let cool a bit, but serve warm.

PEACHES:
Preheat the grill to medium-high. Lightly grease the grill so that the peaches don’t stick.

Slice the peaches in half and remove the pit. Place peaches in a big bowl, and gently toss in the oil and lemon juice. Use your hands to gently rub them and make sure they’re coated.

Grill each peach, face down, for about 7 minutes. Use a thin metal spatula to lift them from the grill. They should be tender and have grill marks. Flip so the skin side icon the grill and cook and for another 2 minutes or so, just to soften a bit more.

Serve immediately, with ice cream and drizzle with caramel
