Ingredients

  • 3 wholepeaches (sliced in half and pits removed)
  • 2 Tablespoonsunsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 Tablespoonfresh basil
  • 0.5 cupbalsamic vinegar (high quality preferred)
  • 0.5 cupsweet cherries (dark, cut in half and pits removed (frozen or fresh))

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your grill to 450 degrees F. Ensure your grill grates are clean and free of any other food remnants.

  2. 2

    In a medium saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and cherry halves. Turn the heat to medium high and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the vinegar has reduced to a slightly thin syrup consistency. Turn off the heat and set aside; the sauce will thicken as it cools.

  3. 3

    Brush the cut sides of each peach with the melted butter. Place the cut sides of the peaches down onto the preheated grill grates and grill for 3-4 minutes (rotate the peaches after 2 minutes if you want some gorgeous grill marks on them). Carefully flip the peaches onto the skin side and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. The peaches should have nice grill marks and be noticeably softer.

  4. 4

    Transfer the peach halves to your serving platter and drizzle with the cherry balsamic sauce. Roll the basil leaves and slice them into a thin chiffonade and sprinkle on top of the peaches. Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert.
