Grilled Sweet Peaches

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 4 Freestone peaches, pitted and halved
• 4 tablespoons fresh or frozen (thawed) blueberries, rinsed
• 4 teaspoons margarine
• 4 teaspoons orange juice concentrate
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons chopped walnuts

Directions:

1. Wash peaches and place 2 halves, cut side up, on a piece of foil large enough to wrap them in. Repeat with other three peaches. Place 1 tablespoon blueberries, 1 teaspoon margarine, 1 teaspoon concentrate, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 ¼ teaspoons walnuts in the center of one half of each peach. Close peach halves to form what looks like an uncut peach. Wrap tightly in foil.
2. Place on grill rack in coolest area of grill. Do not allow to cook over active flame. Allow to cook on grill for about 20 minutes, or until soft and tender.
3. Serve hot, with lemon or orange sorbet.

Note: this technique can be used with fresh apricots or very soft fresh pears

To prevent food from sticking to the grill, you can either keep the grill racks greased with vegetable spray (before heating—never spray into the fire) or you can wipe the grill racks with oil before you start cooking. This will not add an appreciable amount of oil to your cooking. If you are going to put some pots on the grill, a hint for preserving pot bottoms is to coat the bottom with liquid soap. Just be sure there won’t be any food directly under the pot.
