How to Make Grilled Peaches with Fresh Blueberry Compote

Grilling concentrates the flavor of the peaches and caramelizes its natural sugars. Anti-oxidant rich blueberries are lightly cooked to make a quick compote. The combination creates a light and refreshing dessert that highlights fresh summer fruit. If you don't want to fire up the grill, you cook the peaches on a grill pan indoors, or on a hot cast-iron skillet. The recipe calls for fresh blueberries, but you could easily sub in frozen blueberries.

Step-By-Step Instructions:

  2. In a small bowl, stir together the margarine and brown sugar. Stir in 1 tsp of the orange juice and 1/8 tsp of the nutmeg.
  3. Put the peach halves with the cut side up on the grill rack. Brush generously with the brown sugar mixture. Grill for 4 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom. Turn over the peach halves. Brush generously with the brown sugar mixture. Grill for 4 or 5 minutes, or until the peach halves are heated through and golden brown.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, stir together the remaining 2 Tbsp orange juice, honey, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until thickened and smooth, stirring constantly.

I have cooked the peaches and brown sugar mixture in an iron skillet. They taste great. You have to be creative with a thunderstorm outside.
