Cinnamon-Grilled Peaches
Recipe courtesy Steve Raichlen

Ingredients
4 large ripe freestone peaches
8 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
8 fresh mint leaves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup dark rum
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch salt
Peach or vanilla ice cream, for serving

Directions

Rinse the peaches and blot them dry with paper towels.
Cut each peach in half and discard the pit. Then, cut each peach into quarters.
Using a pointed chopstick or metal skewer, make a starter hole in the center of
each peach quarter, working from the pit side to the skin side. Skewer 2 peach
quarters on each cinnamon stick, placing a mint leaf between the 2 quarters.

Combine the butter, brown sugar, rum, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan and bring
to a boil over high heat. Let the glaze boil until thick and syrupy, about 5
minutes.

Prepare and preheat the grill to high. Brush and oil the grate. Next, place the
skewered peaches on the hot grate and grill until nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes
per side, basting with the rum and butter glaze. Spoon any remaining glaze over
the grilled peaches and serve at once. Peach or vanilla ice cream makes a great

accompaniment.
