Last night after posting my peach jam recipe, I went on Facebook and asked, “What do I do with the other 20 pounds of peaches sitting on my counter?”
Luckily, Gwenn came to the rescue and suggested I make grilled peaches. Yum- O! You people are so stinkin’ smart. When in doubt ask, right?
Since I was already planning on grilling some chicken last night, I figured what the heck, I’ll try grilling some peaches too.
Wowza!
Have you ever tried grilled peaches before? Holy cow, what have I been missing all these years?
After a quick search online I settled on grilling my peaches plain Jane style with just olive oil and brown sugar. Not to fancy, but delicious indeed.
Here’s the recipe –
Easy Summer Recipes – Grilled Peaches
Ingredients
3 ripe peaches, halved, pits removed
1 Tbs. olive oil
1 Tbs. brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat grill {I used the medium setting}.
- Brush peach halves with olive oil and place them on the grill face side down.
- After about 3 to 4 minutes {when the peaches have grill marks} turn them over and sprinkle the peaches with brown sugar.
- Remove peaches from the grill after the brown sugar has caramelized a bit {2 minutes or so} and serve warm.
Notes
I chose to serve these peaches with dinner, but I bet they’d be pretty awesome served along or with a bog fat scoop of vanilla ice cream and a sprig of mint.
Have YOU ever grilled peaches before? Do you have a secret recipe you’d like to share?

We had these tonight after dinner and they were AMAZING. It is still a healthy dessert if you eat three whole peaches?
Mavis says
But of course… 😉

Super excited we got peaches in our bountiful basket. Can’t wait to try these Monday night. I have grilled peaches once before and topped them on a salad with blue cheese. Delish.
