Around Colorado we don't say "sweet as a Georgia peach", we say "sweet as a Palisade peach." The ultra juicy, summery fruit that hails from Colorado's Western Slope come July and August.

These Grilled Palisade Peaches with Balsamic Glaze showcase everything that makes Colorado peaches so special. Grilling intensifies their natural sweetness while adding subtle smoky notes and beautiful caramelized edges. A drizzle of Blackberry Ginger Dark Balsamic brings rich complexity, balancing the fruit with layers of sweetness, acidity, and deep barrel-aged character. As the warm peaches absorb the balsamic, the flavors become even more concentrated, creating a dessert that feels elegant despite its simplicity. Each bite is juicy, sweet, slightly smoky, and pleasantly tangy, highlighting the natural flavor of the peaches rather than covering it up. It's a perfect late-summer dessert that proves a handful of exceptional ingredients can create something memorable.

I N G R E D I E N T S :

• ½ cup Blackberry Ginger Dark Balsamic Vinegar
• ½ cup Nectar & Gold Cinnamon Infused Honey
• 6 medium super ripe Palisade peaches halved and pitted
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2-3 scoops of your favorite vanilla bean ice cream to serve alongside the peaches

I N S T R U C T I O N S :

1. In a small saucepan, combine the Blackberry Ginger Balsamic, Cinnamon Infused Honey and salt, and stir over low heat on the stove for 2-3 minutes until blended.
2. Reserve 1/3 cup of the mixture for brushing the peaches, and then bring the rest of the contents of the pan to a boil over medium heat. Cook and stir constantly until the mixture begins to thicken slightly, 4-6 minutes. Remove pan from the heat.
3. Brush the washed, halved and pitted peaches with some of the reserved balsamic mixture. Grill the peaches on an oiled rack over medium heat covered, until caramelized, 6-8 minutes on each side. As the peaches grill, brush occasionally with the reserved balsamic mixture.
4. Once the peaches are done serve alongside the vanilla bean ice cream drizzled with the reserved balsamic and indulge!
