Using the kitchen to Grill Peaches

Cooked up some delicious grilled peaches with blackberry mint sauce! This is one of my favorite things to make. It is super easy and even better with Colorado Peaches!








Grilled Peaches and Blackberry Sauce
INGREDIENTS:
5 peaches 
1-2 cups of ripe blackberries  
Juice of ½ lemon  
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tsp fresh mint leaves, chopped  
1 TBSP coconut oil, melted
Mint springs for garnishing
INSTRUCTIONS:
Heat the 1 tsp coconut oil on a grill or cast iron griddle. Cut the peaches in half and twist to remove the stone. Brush coconut oil on both sides of peaces.
Place the peaches cut side down on the grill and cook for 3–4 minutes until golden brown. Turn the peaches over and cook for another 2–3 minutes until they are heated through and soft.
Meanwhile place the blackberries, lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped mint in a food processor. Process until smooth. Transfer mixture to a small saucepan and heat until warm.
To serve, place the peaches on small plates and drizzle generously with the blackberry sauce. Decorate with mint and serve with frozen yogurt.
*Notes:
Nectarines could be used instead of peaches. Choose fruit that is ripe but firm.
Fruit is best prepared at room temperature. This ripens the fruit and brings out the natural sweetness.
For extra sweetness add a tablespoon of honey to the blackberry sauce!
