Grilled Peaches

Simple grilled peaches are hands down the easiest summer dessert. The transformation is magical. They can be used in both sweet and savoury recipes but for dessert that little indent from the stone is perfect to hold ice cream or whipped cream.

Peaches are perfect on their own but raspberries are ripe at the same time and together they are divine. Try this combination on a fruit pizza or in a pie or fruit crisp.

If you can't resist add a small scoop of ice cream, a few freshly picked raspberries and a drizzle of my homemade raspberry sauce to elevate this dessert.

Ingredients

Follow the seasons to add variety and excitement to the food you prepare in your kitchen. A sure sign of what produce is at its' peak is what you see at farmers market. Grocery stores sell everything year round so it not the best indication of what's in season.

Sometimes the look can be deceiving but most often they should have smooth skin, no blemishes and simply look fresh. You may even smell the aroma as you walk by.

Be sure to try new combinations as well and anything that sound interesting to you. Soon enough peach season will be over so create a simple system to save your seasonal favourites.
