Summer means backyard pool fun and grilling. Try this healthy grilling recipe that uses a local and seasonal fruit: Peaches.
Ingredients
4 large, firm peaches
4 tablespoons cinnamon and sugar mixture (equal parts)
3 tablespoons butter, clarified
1 quart balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup caramel sauce
1/4 cup goat cheese (Montchevre or Laura Chenel)
Skewers
Blackberries, strawberries and mint for garnish
Directions
Remove peach pits. Cut peaches into quarters. Place peaches onto skewers. Brush peaches with butter. Dust peaches with cinnamon and sugar mixture. Place skewers on med/med low grill (no flames). Cook peaches until the sugar caramelizes and the peaches soften.
Reduce 1 quart of balsamic vinegar to 3/4 cup (to reduce, simmer over low heat). Mix 3/4 cup caramel sauce with reduced vinegar. Remove peaches from skewers and on a plate, drizzle caramel sauce over peaches. Top with crumbled goat cheese to taste and garnish with blackberries, strawberries and fresh mint leaves.
