Peachy K n! RECIPES:

There are few summer treats quite as delightful as a grilled peach.

The kiss of the grill enhances the peach’s natural sweetness and brings a new dimension of flavor unlike anything else. How is it done? First, select slightly firm peaches: fully ripe peaches have more sugar, and are thus more inclined to burn. Halve your peaches and use a spoon to scoop out the pits. Brush each half lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking. Grill over medium heat directly on the grates until more tender, yet not falling apart. Grill marks are the surest sign that they're ready to enjoy. Once grilled, you can eat the peaches right away, or top with a scoop of ice cream. But we have a few more ideas to use these tasty little bites...
