Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe peaches
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).
Step 2
Wash and dry the peaches, then cut them in half and remove the pits.
Step 3
Brush the cut sides of the peaches lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 4
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar, orange juice, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow the glaze to reduce slightly over 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.
Step 5
Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the peaches begin to soften.
Step 6
Flip the peaches and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the skin side. Remove from the grill and set aside.
Step 7
Drizzle the warm balsamic orange glaze over the grilled peaches, letting it soak into the fruit slightly.
Step 8
Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
