My mother- and father-in law are adventurous cooks who bless us with their experiments whenever we vacation at the cottage with them. The other night, my mother-in-law made this dessert, and it was luscious! It blends the gorgeous freshness of this season’s peaches, grilled just long enough, with the rich and flavorful colors of honey with balsamic vinegar, cinnamon and vanilla.Grilled Peaches with Balsamic Honey Sauce
•a bit more than ½ c. honey
•1 TBSP balsamic vinegar
•1/4 tsp. cinnamon
•1/2 tsp. vanilla
•4 ripe peaches, preferably freestone, halved, pitted, and peeled
Combine the first 4 ingredients in a small bowl, and whisk until well mixed. Brush this onto the peach halves. Reserve the rest of the honey mixture. Grill peaches on medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve 2 halves in each bowl; spoon the rest of the honey mixture over the peaches. Serve with the best vanilla ice cream you can find (we love Hudsonville vanilla, but can only get it here in Michigan when we visit the cottage.)

I bet that this dish is beyond words because of the sweet and sour mixture. mmm! I can’t wait to try. I love this blog, and you are now on my blogroll!

If it were up to me, I would make entire meals out of grilled fruit in the summertime, but the guys always crinkle their noses at it. Apparently, warm fruit is only good when it’s covered with a crumb topping and baked.
