Serves 8

- 2 ripe peaches
- 2 ripe nectarines
- canola oil
- 8 large scoops of vanilla ice cream
- Honey and sea salt for finishing
Grilled Peaches with Vanilla Ice Cream
- Heat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Brush the peach and nectarine halves with a touch of oil, place on the grill for a few minutes, and then rotate 90 degrees to continue to cook for about 3-4 minutes. Total grill marks appear, and the fruit starts to caramelize.
- Remove from the grill with a pair of tongs and serve with a scoop of ice cream in the center of the fruit. Drizzle with honey and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
Notes: Select peaches that are just ripe, so they are juicy and delicious but firm enough to stand up to grilling.
