Grilled peaches with brown sugar balsamic glaze

Found on Salon.com...and soooo good!  We selected a slow-churn caramel ice cream to accompany this deliciousness.  OMG.

Ingredients

• 4 not-too-ripe peaches, washed, halved and pitted (too ripe and they fall apart on the grill)
• Balsamic vinegar, to taste, about a tablespoon
• Brown sugar or honey, to taste
• Light olive oil
• 4 leaves fresh basil, chopped, optional
• Ice cream (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat grill
2. Drizzle peaches with balsamic vinegar and then sprinkle liberally with brown sugar. (I like to do this about an hour before grilling so the flavors soak in, but they’ll be delicious either way.)
3. Brush grill with a dab of oil. Place peach halves face-down on grill. Turn after 3 to 4 minutes, after they’ve given up the brightness in their color. Sprinkle flat side (now facing up) with more brown sugar. Remove after another couple of minutes, when they’re soft all the way through when you poke them with a fork.
4. Garnish with basil on and around peaches. Serve with ice cream or by themselves. Drink another hefeweizen. Prepare to have very happy friends.

Peach Pie with Crumb Topping

Ingredients
Fresh Peaches (6-8 depending on size)
Cinnamon
Vanilla Extract
Wonder Flour (regular will work too)
Pie Crust
1/2 cup flour
1/2 sugar
1/2 stick butter

Directions
Peel and dice the peaches. Toss with a couple teaspoons of cinnamon, 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla and enough flour to coat.

Pour into a pre-made pie crust (or skip the crust and make as a crumble without a crust).

To make the crumble, mix the flour and sugar. Dice the cold butter into small cubes and mix with hands until you have a doughy consistency. Crumble the mixture over the pie or crumble. Bake at 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes (it's done whenever it is golden brown).

*I just made this for the first time and was a little disappointed with the store bought crust so I would probably just make as a crumble next time and save a few calories...just spray a pie pan or pyrex dish with non-stick spray, add the fruit and crumble on top and bake.
