Grilled Peaches in Ancho Syrup
Peaches are abundant right now. Crisp, fresh and the perfect Summer treat. We love peach cobbler as much as the next person, but we decided to try something new and a little out of the ordinary with our peaches. Our grill was hot and ready so we decided to place a few peaches on it. Plus we love a little heat, so why not combine the two to create something magical?
Grilling the peaches for just a few minutes per side warms the fruit and enhances the sweetness. Pair the sweet fruitiness with the mild heat of the Dried Ancho Chile and this dessert hits all the right notes.
We used peaches for this recipe because they are in season and readily available, but pineapple can be substituted if you would like. The heat from the grill will bring out the sweetness from the pineapple in the same way that it does for the peaches and create a spectacular contrast with the Ancho chile syrup.
Chile Threads are very pliable. They can be used as a visually spectacular garnish and will provide another layer of mild heat.
Serving Suggestion: To offset the mild heat of the chiles, add a dollop of vanilla ice cream or creamy yogurt before adding the Chile Threads as a garnish.
