Equipment

  • Grill*

Ingredients

  • For the balsamic glaze:
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup fresh grapefruit juice*
  • 4 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp grapefruit zest*
  • For the peaches:
  • 4 peaches halved and pitted
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil, warm
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  • In a medium-size shallow saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, grapefruit juice, brown sugar, and grapefruit zest.
  • Simmer on low heat. Occasionally whisk it to prevent from burning. It will take approximately 12 to 14 minutes to reduce the glaze.
  • When the reduced glaze coats the back of a spoon, remove it from the stove and allow it to cool.
  • Next, in a small bowl, whisk warm coconut oil with and cinnamon.
  • Preheat the grill.
  • Lightly brush the peaches with oil mixture and place them on the flesh side down on the grill.
  • Grill for 2-3 minutes or until light char grilled marks appear, flip and cook for 2-3 more minutes.
  • Once done, arrange the peaches on your plates. Drizzled them with the balsamic glaze and maple syrup, top with fresh blueberries and serve immediately. You can always serve them with a scoop of your favorite dairy-free vanilla ice-cream.

Notes

*For this recipe I used my George Foreman 9-Serving Basic Plate Electric Grill 
*You will need one small grapefruit to produce ¼ cup of the juice. Feel free to replace grapefruit juice with 1/3 water and 2-3 drops of citrus-flavored extracts.
