ingredients

• 1 lime, juiced
• 118.29 ml peach schnapps
• 29.58 ml honey
• 6 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
• vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
• dark brown sugar, for sprinkling
• of fresh mint or basil, for garnish

directions

1. To marinate the peaches: Mix together the lime juice, peach Schnapps or nectar and the honey in a small bowl; pour the marinade over the split peaches. Refrigerate one to two hours, turning occasionally.
2. To grill the peaches: Pre-heat a grill to medium hot. Drain off the marinade and pat the peaches dry. Grill the peaches until they just begin to caramelize and are browned in spots, a few minutes on each side. Sprinkle with the dark brown sugar just to get a light coating and close grill just to melt the sugar and make it nice and bubbly; 5-8 minutes.
3. To serve: Let the peaches cool until slightly warm. Place two halves on each plate or small bowl. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream. Garnish with mint or basil.
