Maple Grilled Peaches (Or Nectarines)

Katzen's Note:

What a perfect dish for an outdoor dinner!! Using your grill won't heat up the kitchen, and grilled peaches taste absolutely divine! Choose freestone peaches, because they are easy to cut neatly into halves. From Canadian Living.

Too sweet, next time I might try this using half pure maple syrup and half water
