Grilled Cinnamon Peaches

The local farmer's market has some delicious peaches right now. We have been going every week and buying some from a local farmer. Naturally I had to find different ways to use them. This recipe is one of those ideas. I am a huge fan of cooking on the grill in the summer. We probably grill out several nights a week when the weather is just right. I am also a big fan when you can cook your entire meal on the grill. This recipe was cooked on the grill, along with some kabobs and grilled potatoes. No indoor cooking required, which was wonderful. Grilled Cinnamon Peaches are one of my favorite grilled desserts, so I thought I would share the recipe that I use. Also, these would go well with just about any meal you prepare.

Grilled Cinnamon Peaches
Serves 4

Ingredients:
4-6 fresh peaches cut in half and the pit removed (make sure you wash and dry them before cutting in half)
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons of brown sugar or brown sugar substitute (we use Splenda Brown Sugar Blend)
Pinch of salt
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Nonstick cooking spray
Optional - Honey

Directions:
-Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat
-In a small bowl, combine your cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt together
-Place each of your peach halves, skin side down, on a plate
-Squeeze lemon juice on top of each of the peach halves and then sprinkle some of your cinnamon mixture on top of each
-On your grilling surface, make sure to spray nonstick cooking spray or brush some olive oil on the grates to prevent peaches from sticking.
-Place peaches skin side down on the grill and cook for about 3 minutes (lid needs to be closed to the grill)
-After 3 minutes, turn the peaches and grill the other side for roughly 2-3 minutes
-You want there to be some grill lines on the peaches. This way you know they are done.
-Remove from the grill and serve on a plate
-Optional: Drizzle some honey on top of each of the peaches or serve with some vanilla frozen yogurt

Enjoy! :)
