Faiths Bourbon Glazed Peaches On The Grill Recipes

FAITH'S BOURBON GLAZED PEACHES ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Set the outdoor gas grill on low heat. Chop and toast pecans in a toaster oven, watching carefully not to burn them. Set them aside.
• In a saucepan, add the bourbon, butter, brown sugar, lemon juice and water. Stir and let it boil softly on the stovetop for about a minute, until the sugar is dissolved and the alcohol has burned off. Turn the heat to simmer and let it softly bubble for about 5 minutes. Place the peach halves in a baking dish and pour the syrup over them, using a pastry brush to paint the glaze on evenly. Let them sit covered in the glaze at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Using tongs, place the peach halves on the grill, cut side down, and cook them for five minutes or until they caramelize but don't burn. Flip them over and cook the reverse side for five minutes, or until they soften and brown. Serve each person two halves on a scoop of ice cream and sprinkle on toasted pecans.

BOURBON-GLAZED PEACHES WITH MASCARPONE CREAM

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Sprinkle the peaches with the salt and place them cut-side down in the skillet. Cook until the peaches begin to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the peaches and cook on the other side for 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the cut sides with the brown sugar. Flip again and cook for another 5 minutes. Pour in the bourbon to deglaze the pan and toss and flip the peaches a few times.
• Whisk together the mascarpone, heavy cream, honey and vanilla until smooth.
• Divide the peaches among 4 plates and top each with a few dollops of the mascarpone cream. Add another drizzle of honey if you'd like more sweetness. Sprinkle with fresh mint and serve.
