Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 fresh ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Wash the peaches thoroughly and slice them in half, gently removing the pits. Keep the halves thick enough to stay juicy while grilling.
- Make the Cinnamon Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup (natural), cinnamon powder, lemon juice, and natural gelling agent until well combined to create a glaze that will coat the peaches.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill surface with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Peaches: Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes until caramelized grill marks appear.
- Apply the Glaze and Finish Grilling: Flip the peaches over and brush them generously with the cinnamon maple glaze. Grill an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the glaze starts to bubble and peaches are tender but still hold their shape.
Notes
- Choose ripe but firm peaches to ensure sweetness and hold on the grill.
- Keep the grill hot for good sear marks and enhanced flavor.
- Do not overcrowd the grill; leave space between peach halves.
- Use the natural gelling agent sparingly to thicken the glaze without changing its texture.
- Serve the peaches warm for the best juicy and sweet experience.
