BBQ Grilled Honey-Ginger Peaches
Grilled honey-ginger peaches are a special summer dessert that highlights the fruit's natural sweetness with a smoky grilling technique. The combination of honey and ginger creates a fresh and spicy flavor that perfectly harmonizes with the juicy texture of the peaches. Grilled fruits are popular in Mediterranean and Asian cuisines, where they are often combined with honey, citrus, and spicy marinades. The slight caramelization of the honey and the pungent warmth of the ginger add a unique character to this dessert, which can even be served as a side dish alongside grilled meats. This recipe is a perfect choice as a special treat for a summer barbecue, but it can also be served as a standalone dessert. If you want an even more exciting flavor experience, try serving it with vanilla ice cream or yogurt!

Preparation Steps
1
Wash the peaches, halve them, and remove the pits. If desired, leave the skin on to help them hold their shape while grilling.
2
In a small bowl, combine the honey, melted butter, grated ginger, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
3
Brush the cut sides of the peaches with the honey-ginger mixture, then let them sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to absorb.
4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grease the grates with a little melted butter to prevent the peaches from sticking.
5
Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill grates and cook for 3-4 minutes, until caramelized grill marks appear.
6
Flip the peaches and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the fruit is warmed through and even juicier.
7
Before serving, drizzle with the remaining honey-ginger mixture and, if desired, sprinkle with chopped almonds for extra crunch.
