Grilled Peaches

There is no specific amounts to this....you just do it and it's yummy!

You need one peach per person. This ensures that each person gets two halves because one is not enough. You want the peaches to be ripe enough that when you cut in half you can remove the seed.

Preheat grill. Cut peaches in half and pit.

In a microwave safe bowl mix butter and brown sugar. Melt and stir until it makes a liquidy mixture.

Please peaches face down on grill and brush with brown sugar butter mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Turn and brush peaches again and fill the pit hole with the mixture.

Cook until the skins start to come off. Skins could start to look dark brown.

Serve hot with vanilla ice cream.
