Grilled Balsamic Honey Peaches & Peaches in White Wine

You have no idea how excited I was when I pulled up my driveway and saw a BIG box from Kauffman’s Fruit Farm waiting for me!  I couldn’t wait to receive The Mix’n Match Gift Box!  This is a variety gift box and you can choose your perfect combination of in-season fruit, including plums, peaches, pears and apples of course!  I chose peaches (fresh, local peaches – yes, oh yes) and two types of apples – Zestar & Pink Lady.

The sweet aroma of fresh peaches when opening the box was almost intoxicating.  Sixteen peaches safely nestled in their cushioned foam housing.  Some were perfectly ripened & ready to eat immediately and others needed a few days on the counter.  A wonderful balance.

I certainly can’t forget about the apples.  Sixteen fresh, crisp, beautiful apples.  I love apples!

Would you like to know the hardest part of working with this months fruit selection?  Stopping myself and my family from devouring the fruit before I could work with it.  Everything was so delicious!

I had so many ideas of what I was going to do with the peaches and apples before they arrived.  All plans changed after I tasted the fruit.  Everything was so fresh, sweet, juicy, crisp and perfectly ripened.  I felt as it would be almost tragic to bake with it.  I decided to keep it simple and focus on enhancing the amazing flavors of the fruit.

I had a lot of fun with this fruit and made a whole slew of fresh and easy recipes.  Today I’ll share my two favorite no-bake peach recipes.

It was a lovely day and I felt like grilling.  Peaches on the grill?  You betchya!  Add A little balsamic vinegar, honey, salt and a hearty pinch of your favorite (good) cheese and you’ll have yourself an impressive dessert!

I brushed on the balsamic & honey mixture on both sides of the peaches generously and frequently while grilling.  After the peaches were grilled to my liking and plated, I went to town shredding Gruyere Cheese on top.  A little whipped cream to top it all off and our sweet afternoon snack was complete.

There you have it – a fresh, simple, delicious and almost fancy peach prepared on the grill.  The balsamic and honey in this recipe simply enhance the flavor of these sweet, ripe juicy peaches!  I could eat these every day!!

Perhaps you don’t feel like grilling?  Don’t feel like cooking?  I have the perfect recipe for you!  The most work you have to do is slice some peaches and open up a bottle of wine.  I can handle that any day!

Peaches in white wine is a simple, classic Italian dessert.  Use your sweetest, ripest, juiciest peaches and a cup or two of your favorite dry(ish) white wine.  Cover the sliced peaches in wine and let the peaches macerate (soak in wine) for at least a few hours, preferably a day.  Serve the peaches in the sweet wine syrup and enjoy.  It’s a simple, crisp, fresh peach dessert.  Yum!

I hope you’ve found some fresh fruit inspiration from these recipes!  Thanks for stopping by!
