Delicious And Healthy Grilled Peaches

The late days of summer are upon us. Hot, humid days that remind me of the summers of my childhood spent at my Granny and Grandaddy’s house. August days were for blackberry picking, apple drying, jelly making and all kinds of canning. I am not nearly that ambitious these days but I still love fresh summer fruit. We are lucky that we have a small neighborhood market very near our house. Evan and I love walking down to see what the market holds. Yesterday, we were excited to see all kinds of fruits and vegetables on display. In fact, Evan tried white currants, red currants, black currents and gooseberries. While he explored the world of berries, I was mesmerized by the peaches. Visions of peach cobbler danced in my head……mmmmm.

Reality set in that, after a summer of eating and drinking more than I should, I probably could do without a big pan of peach cobbler in my life. So I set out to figure out how I could get a similar taste without all the calories and butter. After a bit of reading, I decided to try my hand at grilled peaches. Oh my goodness, they were delicious AND the perfect way to keep summer going just a *little* bit longer. The grilling enhances the sweetness of the peaches making them delicious with very little help….just a perfect scoop of vanilla ice cream.
