Maple-Glazed Grilled Peaches


Maple-Glazed Grilled Peaches
June, 2001

Serves 6 / It's amazing how wonderfully sweet peaches are when grilled. With no added fat, this dessert is sure to be repeated again and again during peach season!

6 peaches
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2-1/2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 tablespoon Grand Marnier liqueur
Generous pinch of nutmeg or cardamom
Nonfat vanilla soy yogurt (optional)
Mint sprigs for garnish

1. Preheat grill. Lightly spray grill with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Fill large pot with water and bring to a boil. Carve an X on bottom of each peach. Immerse peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove and immediately plunge into ice water. When cooled, gently pull off skin with a paring knife. Slice each peach in half and discard pits.
3. Combine maple syrup, orange juice, Grand Marnier and nutmeg or cardamom. Brush cut side of peaches with the mixture. When grill is ready, place peaches cut side down on grill. Brush tops with maple glaze. After 5 minutes, turn peaches. Cook another 5 minutes until lightly browned.
4. Serve with a dollop of nonfat vanilla soy yogurt, if desired. Garnish with mint sprigs.
