\nThe heat is spiking up over 100 degrees here. A few minutes outside in the sun feels like I will get cooked. The summer is at its peak. So is it with the wonders of the nature. I cannot help but dive into the fruits & berries that the season has to offer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nThe other day the peaches were for sale for 77 cents a pound!\u00a0 I don’t even know how many pounds I got. Most of them were eaten fresh & on ice creams, a lot of it went into making a Peach & Rhubarb Pie (will post that soon), & some were grilled.

\nPeaches are the most commonly grilled fruits I must say & I love grilled fruits. Grilling the peaches deepens the flavors & with some cream or yogurt they make cool desserts or just afternoon snacks. The luscious peaches combines with the slight smokiness from the grill – makes me crave for more & more.<\/p>\n

Grilled Peaches with Lemon Yogurt & Honey<\/h3>\n


\n<\/strong><\/em>
\nNote:<\/strong> Pick Ripe but Firm Peaches.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 4 Peaches, halved & pits removed
    \n<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. 1 Cup Yogurt, strained or Greek Yogurt<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. 1\/2 Teaspoon Lemon Extract<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Clover Honey or any other flavors of honey you would want to use<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Mint leaves for garnish<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. Lightly toasted Almonds<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n


    \n<\/strong><\/em>
    \nFor basting the peaches while grilling<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. 1 tablespoon butter<\/strong><\/li>\n
    2. 1 Teaspoon Lemon Zest<\/strong><\/li>\n
    3. 2 Tablespoons mint Leaves, cut into very small pieces ( I use scissors)<\/strong><\/li>\n
    4. 2 Tablespoons Brown sugar or regular sugar<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n


      \n<\/strong><\/em>
      \nPreparation:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

      Muddle the Mint & the Sugar.. or use a rolling pin to crush them together. Heat all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan just until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. Strain the basting sauce.<\/p>\n

      Baste the peach halves with the sauce and place them cut side down on the grill over medium-low heat. Cook them for about 3 minutes and turn. ( I have grilled mine on the stove top grill pan).<\/p>\n

      Spoon some of the sauce into each peach half, lightly cover with a foil or pan and heat for another 4 or 5 minutes, until warm & slightly softened.<\/p>\n

      Combine the\u00a0 Lemon Extract & the Yogurt.<\/p>\n

      Serve the Grilled Peaches with Lemon Yogurt, Drizzle with honey, sprinkle some slivered almonds & garnish with mint.<\/p>\n

      Note:<\/strong> (The yogurt may be substituted with Cream, Whipped Cream or Ice Cream or even better with Mascarpone Cheese)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
