Grilled peaches: A lazy cook’s dream.
The sugar-plus-heat combination makes for a seductive caramelizing effect. Peaches are a natural for the grill, where quick cooking brings out juiciness and intensifies sweetness.
- Start with peaches that are firm with just a little give when you give them a gentle squeeze with your whole hand.
- Cut the peaches in half and pit them. You can grill entire peach halves or cut them into wedges.
- Cook peaches over a medium fire on both sides until grill marks show and peaches are tender but not falling apart.
Serve grilled peaches plain or in salads. You can also try pairing grilled peaches with cool soy yogurt or with scoops of soy or rice-milk ice cream.
