Grilled Peaches in a Dark Rum Bath

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup dark rum
• 6 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
• 1 pint caramel ice cream

Instructions

1. Prepare a medium fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas or electric grill on medium.
2. In a small saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from the heat and add the brown sugar and rum. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
3. Place the peach halves in a large bowl. With a rubber spatula, gently stir in the rum mixture and continue stirring until the peaches are well coated.
4. Grill the peaches directly over a medium fire, cut side up, until grill marks are visible, about 5 minutes.
5. Turn the peaches over. Cook until grill marks show and the peaches are tender, about 4 or 5 minutes more, brushing any leftover rum mixture on the peaches as they grill.
6. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream.
