Grilled Peaches With Amaretti Recipes

GRILLED PEACHES WITH AMARETTI

Steps:

• Heat grill . When hot, brush the grill with a little oil to make sure the peaches don't stick.
• Place the peaches, cut side down, on the grill and cook for a few minutes, until they're slightly charred.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the peaches in an oven-proof dish, sprinkle each half with a little vanilla sugar.
• Combine the rum and amaretto and drizzle 1/2 of it on the peaches.
• Bake the peaches for about 10 minutes, until they're very tender. Serve hot, at room temperature, or cold with crumbled amaretti cookies on top or with the cookies on the side.
• Serve them with a dollop of creme fraiche or vanilla ice cream.
• Vanilla Sugar:.
• Find a jar tall enough to hold 2 vanilla beans. Fill the bottle with sugar and cover tightly. Store on a pantry shelf. After about 3 months you will have a wonderful ingredient for cooking and baking. Keep adding vanilla beans and sugar to the jar and you will have it for years.

GRILLED PEACHES

Steps:

• Cut the peaches in half and remove the pit. Slice each half in half and toss them in a bowl with the vanilla extract, almond extract, and brown sugar. Set aside for 15 minutes while you preheat a grill with a medium-high heat. Grill skin side down until skin is slightly charred, about 3 minutes. Turn and grill on the other 2 sides until you get nice grill marks, about 1 minute on each side.
• Divide the peaches among 4 bowls and serve with the frozen yogurt and toasted almonds, if desired.

GRILLED PEACHES WITH AMARETTO MASCARPONE

Steps:

• Cut in half and pit 4 ripe peaches. In about a 1/2 cup of brown sugar, dip the cut sides of the peaches.
• On a clean grill sprayed with oil, grill cut side down for 2 minutes, covered. Flip and grill for another 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, top each peach with a dollop of the mascarpone mixture in the hole where the pit was. Sprinkle with crushed cookies (I like to use Amaretto Biscotti) and garnish with raspberries.
