Best Grilled Peaches With Mock Creme Anglaise Recipes

GRILLED PEACHES WITH CRèME FRAîCHE

Steps:

• Cut peaches in half and use a spoon to remove the pits. Rub the peach halves together to release their juices, then place cut side down over direct heat, 6 inches from the coals, or over medium-high heat on a gas grill or indoor grill pan. Grill until peaches are lightly charred, soft, and warmed all the way through, 3-4½ minutes.
• To serve, place the peaches on individual serving plates or one large platter. Drizzle with wine, then add freshly ground black pepper. Spoon dollops of crème fraîche over the peaches, then finish with freshly squeezed lime juice. Serve immediately.

SIMPLEST GRILLED PEACHES

Steps:

• Heat a gas grill to medium. If you are cooking on a charcoal grill, wait until the fire has died down to medium to low heat.
• Cut the peaches along their seams, all the way around, and twist their halves off their pits. Brush the cut sides of the peaches with olive oil and grill, cut side down, until the fruit has developed grill marks and started to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Brush the tops with oil, turn over and move to the side of the grill to continue cooking over indirect heat, another 4 to 5 minutes. You can add flavor by brushing them with maple syrup and bourbon, or molasses and butter. But if they are perfect peaches, they shouldn't need anything at all.

GRILLED PEACHES AND ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high. Cut peaches in half; remove pits. Brush cut sides with oil. Place cut-sides down on grill. Grill 3 to 4 minutes until grill marks appear. Brush tops with oil, turn over and move to indirect heat. Grill about 10 minutes longer until warm and tender.
• Serve warm peach halves topped with ice cream.

GRILLED PEACHES

Steps:

• Right before cooking, slice the peaches along the seam and pit them. Coat them in oil for cooking, being sure to give them a thick, even coating. I prefer to toss them in a gallon size Ziplock bag along with the oil and gently rub the oil into the peach. This reduces mess, which is critical when you might be in the backyard, far from access to a sink. Don't use extra virgin olive oil, as the smoke point is lower and may cause the peaches to taste burnt and smoky. Grill the peaches skin side up for 5-6 minutes. When they begin to sizzle and shine, turn them over onto their skin and cook for another 6-7 minutes, or until they soften and lose a little bit of their shape. Serve immediately, with or without a garnish of whipped cream or ice cream. If you don't have room to eat all the peaches you've grilled, they can be reheated in the microwave for about 30 seconds, and they still taste great the second time around.
