Grilled Peaches in Ancho Syrup

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.
Ingredients:
- 1 oz or 2 Dried Ancho Chiles
- 3 cups water, divided

- Heat 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan.
- Add Dried Ancho Chiles and simmer, uncovered 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove the chiles from the liquid, set aside to cool and discard cooking liquid.
- When the chile is cool enough to handle, stem and seed each chile and roughly chop.
- In a clean saucepan, add chopped chiles, honey and remaining water.
- Bring mixture to a boil and stir until honey is dissolved.
- Remove syrup from the heat and let the mixture stand, covered, for about 20 minutes to infuse flavors.

- Place peaches, cut side down, on the clean, hot grill grate.
