ah, peaches. i love them. but they can be so disappointing sometimes when you don't pick a good one. you know the ones that when you bite into them, the juice runs down your chin and wrist. those are the ones i like. and these were just that. i made grilled balsamic peaches tonight for my clients and think they turned out great. (i sure hope they did at least, i have never tried this recipe...) i simply poured a bit of balsamic vinegar and a sprinkle of brown sugar over the tops and grilled them on an indoor grill pan for 2 minutes. topped them off with a few fresh thyme leaves. having fruit after dinner is such a great alternative to dessert, and it can usually satisfy that sweet tooth. i bet a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of mascarpone and fresh mint would be out of this world. i think i just might treat myself to that tonight (the ice cream version, of course). it's peach season, so pick up a few and try grilling them - just as they are. it makes the fruit so sweet and juicy.
