I'm elbow deep in a 42 pound salmon smoking project. They are biting faster than I can smoke them! Does anyone have a great recipe for peaches on the grill? No time for research today.[p]Thanks in advance.[p]Julie

Hot, AZRP. Brined for 5 hours, rinsed, dried off & seasoned ovenight with DP Raging River; smoked over apple wood; glazed with grade B maple syrup; smoked some more; cooled; skin removed; vacuum-sealed. Lots of work but worth it! JCA

J Appledog, then BobbyB has another suggestion:
Grilled Peaches with a Chunk of Bittersweet Chocolate and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Ingredients
2 Tbs Butter -- melted
6 ripe Peaches -- halved and pitted
6 1/2 oz Bittersweet chocolate -- broken into 1/2oz pieces
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream -- Your favorite

Instructions
1 Wipe off the grill to make a clean surface. When the grill is medium hot place the peaches directly on the grill, flesh side down.
2 Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until peaches begin to brown slightly.
3 Remove peaches and cover the grill surface with a large piece of aluminum foil.
4 Return peaches to the grill, flesh side up. Place a 1/2 ounce chunk of chocolate in the well of each peach half. Using a pastry brush, coat the peaches with the melted butter. Cover the grill and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the peaches are soft and tender all the way through.
5 To prepare in the oven: Preheat the oven to 425F. Follow the direction in Step 2 for preparing peaches with chocolate and melted butter, and on a a baking sheet roast the peaches for 15 to 20 minutes.
6 To serve, place 2 peach halves in a shallow bowl and serve with a scoop of Vanilla Bean Ice cream. [p]Source: Posted by bobbyb on July 15, 2007[p]

J Appledog,
Grilled Peaches With Fresh Cherry Sauce [p] === FOR THE CHERRY SAUCE ===
1 lb dark cherries, pitted, (abt 1 cup)
1 Tbs sugar
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp kirsch (cherry liqueur)
=== FOR THE PEACHES ===
4 medium peaches
2 Tbs unsalted butter
2 Tbs brown sugar
=== FOR SERVING ===
1 cup vanilla ice cream
4 cookies

1 To make the Cherry Sauce: In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, combine the pitted cherries, sugar, red wine, and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is soft, 6 to 8 minutes.
2 Transfer the mixture to a food processor and purée until completely smooth. Return the mixture to the sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the kirsch. Simmer until reduced to about 1/4 cup, 1 to 2 minutes.
3 Cut the peaches in half and remove and discard the pits. Place the halves in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Coat the peaches with the butter mixture.
4 Grill the peaches over Direct Medium heat until grill marks are clearly visible and the peaches are soft, 10 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time.
5 While the peaches are still warm, layer each serving glass with 2 peach halves, 1 scoop ice cream, and 1 tablespoon cherry sauce. Tuck a cookie into each glass. Serve immediately.
6 This recipe yields 4 servings.
7 Comments: In the late 1800s, famous French chef Auguste Escoffier created a dessert for Dame Nellie Melba, a celebrated Australian opera singer. Called peach Melba, the immediately popular recipe consisted of poached peaches, vanilla ice cream, and raspberry sauce. Here is a twist on that classic summertime dish.

J Appledog,[p]I am a big fan of grilled fruit with spicy dishes. One of my favorites is grilled peaches with sausages and chiles. I'll thread peach halves, chunks of partially cooked (or cured) sausage, and whole chiles (red jalapenos, fresnos, serranos, or habaneros), oil the whole thing lightly, and sprinkle with S&P. Over a reasonably hot fire, all three will be done at approximately the same time. I will often drizzle with a mixture of cider vinegar, honey, and chipotle puree after I pull them off.[p]Matt

Looks great, Bill, but Steve is a diabetic. That would fix him but good!

Wise One, Now that's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks! Julie

Wise One,
The mere thought of this masterpiece makes my mouth water! I've done something similar... the only difference is that I added cinnamon to the butter and placed each half in a muffin tin for easy removal from the grill! Just "scoop" out of tin with a serving spoon! I think I gotta go buy some peaches!
