Grilled Peaches Or Pineapple Or Mango Recipes

GRILLED PEACHES AND PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-low to low heat. Spray a grill tray with holes with cooking spray.
• Mix the olive oil and maple syrup together in a small bowl and brush over the peaches and pineapple. Put the fruit cut-side down on the prepared grill tray and cook low and slow, rotating them 90 degrees halfway through, about 5 minutes. Monitor the cooking temperature and keep it low enough so that the maple syrup doesn't burn but browns a little. Set the fruit aside to cool.
• To serve, arrange the fruit over scoops of vanilla ice cream, sprinkle pecans all over the top and drizzle with extra maple syrup.

GRILLED PEACHES

Steps:

• Right before cooking, slice the peaches along the seam and pit them. Coat them in oil for cooking, being sure to give them a thick, even coating. I prefer to toss them in a gallon size Ziplock bag along with the oil and gently rub the oil into the peach. This reduces mess, which is critical when you might be in the backyard, far from access to a sink. Don't use extra virgin olive oil, as the smoke point is lower and may cause the peaches to taste burnt and smoky. Grill the peaches skin side up for 5-6 minutes. When they begin to sizzle and shine, turn them over onto their skin and cook for another 6-7 minutes, or until they soften and lose a little bit of their shape. Serve immediately, with or without a garnish of whipped cream or ice cream. If you don't have room to eat all the peaches you've grilled, they can be reheated in the microwave for about 30 seconds, and they still taste great the second time around.
