Grilled Mint Julep Peaches
One of my favorite summer libations was the inspiration to this summery southern-style dessert.
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches, prefferably loose stone
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1/2 cup kentucky bourbon
- 2 cups dark brown sugar
- 4 sprigs mint
- 2 cups premium vanilla bean ice cream
Directions
- Preheat grill to high
- Pick leaves off mint sprigs.
- Make the glaze- combine bourbon, brown sugar, & mint stems in a small saucepot over medium heat. Allow sauce to reduce 5 min, remove stems.
- Half peaches & remove stone, brush with canola oil
- Grill peaches, flesh side down and covered, for 2 minutes.
- Rotate 180 degrees and grill, covered, about 2 more minutes- depending on how ripe the peaches are.
- Plate peaches, flesh side up, and drizzle with glaze.
- Top with ice cream and garnish with mint leaves.
