Grilled Peaches with Amaretti
Copyright, 2006, Ina Garten, All Rights Reserved

Ingredients
8 ripe peaches, cut in 1/2 and pitted
1/4 cup vanilla sugar, recipe follows
1/4 cup good dark rum (recommended: Mount Gay)
1/4 cup good almond liqueur (recommended: Amaretto Di Savonna)
8 amaretti cookies, crumbled
Creme fraiche or vanilla ice cream to serve, optional

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Heat a grill with a single layer of charcoal. When the coals are hot, brush the

grill with a little oil to make sure the peaches don't stick. Place the peaches,
cut side down, on the grill and cook for a few minutes, until they're slightly
charred.

Place the peaches in an oven-proof dish, sprinkle each half with a little vanilla
sugar. Combine the rum and amaretto and drizzle 1/2 of it on the peaches. Bake the
peaches for about 10 minutes, until they're very tender. Serve hot, at room
temperature, or cold with crumbled amaretti cookies on top or with the cookies on
the side. I like to serve them with a dollop of creme fraiche or vanilla ice
cream.

Vanilla Sugar:
Find a jar tall enough to hold 2 vanilla beans. Fill the bottle with sugar and

cover tightly. Store on a pantry shelf. After about 3 months you will have a
wonderful ingredient for cooking and baking. Keep adding vanilla beans and sugar
to the jar and you will have it for years.
