• Perfectly highlights the natural sweetness of fresh peaches.

Ingredients

• 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

How to Make Grilled Peaches with Caramel Sauce

1. Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F).
2. Brush the cut sides of the peach halves with olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes until grill marks appear and the peaches soften slightly.
4. While the peaches are grilling, prepare the caramel sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the granulated sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar melts and turns a deep amber color, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Once the sugar has melted, carefully add the butter, stirring until completely melted and combined.
6. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring (the mixture will bubble up), then add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and remove from heat.
7. Remove the grilled peaches from the grill and place them on a serving platter, cut side up.
8. Drizzle the warm caramel sauce generously over the grilled peaches.
9. Serve immediately, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips for the Best Results

• Choose peaches that are slightly firm to the touch, as they will soften when grilled.
• Don’t overcook the sugar when making the caramel; a deep amber color is what you want.
• If you have leftovers, store them separately to prevent the peaches from getting soggy.

Easy Variations

• For a spiced twist, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the caramel sauce.
• Substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
• Add a sprinkle of chopped nuts, such as pecans or almonds, for extra crunch.

What to Serve With It

• Vanilla or caramel ice cream
• Fresh whipped cream
• A scoop of yogurt for a tangy contrast
• A sprinkle of granola for added texture
