Anyway, I showed up to Sunderland last week with nothing but my computer, a pair of running shoes, and a bag o' peaches, and we had the most amazing peach dessert ever - grilled peaches, covered with a raspberry sauce. Good enough that all three of us were licking our plates.
This is a simple recipe. I suppose it is one of those recipes that totally just shows off the ingredients. Maybe this would work with crappy, out-of-season peaches. But is that even worth it?
The grill was already hot, so it didn't take long to re-heat up. Cut the peaches in half, remove the pits. Then cook the peaches flat side down for 5-10 minutes, until you've got little black lines on that side. Flip them, and fill the pit holes with a mix of melted butter and brown sugar and a dash of cinnamon. For 3 peaches, I had ~1tbs melted butter and ~1tbs sugar. Grill the peaches round side down for another 5-10 minutes, remove before the skin gets too charred.
Meanwhile, put a handful of frozen raspberries, with a spoonful of sugar, into a pot, and cook those until they're thawed and the berries are all mushed up. Don't bother straining the raspberries. Dump raspberry sauce on top of peaches, and eat immediately. Then lick the plates, lick the pot, lick the spoon...
Edit: I have grilled peaches at this house before. They were delicious with ice cream, too. I bet ice cream and raspberries would be even better! Next time...
