Grilled Peaches with Raspberry Syrup and Whipped Cream
What a hot day! I was on Facebook this morning, and saw a post from EZ Orchards about all the foods that you can make on the grill. The idea of grilling peaches sounded good to me, so this afternoon, we drove to EZ Orchards and picked up peaches with the rest of our fruits and veggies.
This really was pretty simple--I did search Martha's website (yes, we are on a first name basis) for some ideas and modified one of her recipes a little. And I'm sorry--I didn't measure anything.
--Slice peaches in half and remove the pit and stem. (Use as many peaches as you have people! I was cooking for 3.)
--Brush peaches with melted butter (I had to use Smart Balance since I'm out of everything! Still worked although not my first choice.)
--Sprinkle peaches with brown sugar.
--Place peaches flesh side down on foil and cook on a medium temperature grill for about 10 minutes.
While the peaches are cooking--whip some heavy whipping cream (I always add a little powdered sugar) and make the raspberry syrup.
I have raspberries in my freezer and I really just grabbed two handfuls out and thawed them. Then, I put two soup spoons of sugar in with the raspberries and let it sit for about 5 minutes while I whipped the cream.
Next, I mixed it up and squished the raspberries with the spoon. After it was good and squished, I ran it through a wire mesh sieve to separate the syrup from the solids and seeds.
I placed two peaches in each bowl (one for the little guy), topped it with raspberry syrup and added whipped cream to the top. I sliced mine, then topped it since I knew I had to finish eating it before I needed to feed the baby--but I left Jamie's whole.
It is simple--the fruit flavors are there and not overpowered by sugar and really yummy! There is one peach half left and I think Jamie and I may battle for it! And it took maybe 15-20 minutes to do the entire thing.
