Grilled Vanilla Peaches

By LaLaCooks

Enhancing the flavor of farm-stand summer peaches
requires little effort. Vanilla and brown sugar cook in
the peaches' natural juices inside a foil packet, forming
a fragrant glaze to coat the soft, warm fruit. Simply top
with scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

• 8 freestone peaches
• 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons water
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1 quart vanilla ice cream

Preparation

Step 1

Peel, halve, and pit 8 freestone peaches.

Preheat grill to high. Combine the juice of
1 lemon and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
in a bowl. Add peaches; toss to coat.
Place peaches (with liquid) on a large piece
of parchment-lined foil.

Stir together 1 1/2 tablespoons packed
light-brown sugar, 2 teaspoons water,
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract,
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and
1/8 teaspoon coarse salt. Brush over
peaches. Fold foil to form a packet, crimping
edges to seal. Grill, covered, for 15 minutes.

Slice peaches, and divide among 8 bowls. Top
with scoops of vanilla ice cream (1 quart).
