Ingredients

  • 3 tbspns white granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tspns fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 large, ripe peaches with peel halved and pitted

Instructions

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together the white sugar, balsamic vinegar, and pepper.
  • Simmer until liquid has reduced by one half. It should become slightly thicker. 
  • Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate. 
  • Place peaches on the prepared grill, cut side down. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the flesh is caramelized.

  • Transfer the peach halves to individual serving dishes, and drizzle with remaining glaze. Sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese. Enjoy!
