Grilled Peaches

When I was a wee tot, my grandfather would pick my sister and I up from school and bring us back to his house where my grandmother would prepare an afternoon snack of a liberally buttered english muffins and luke warm cans of Sprite. Afternoon activities included but were not limited to:

1) Cribbage.
2) Rummy.
3) PBS gems like Where in the World is Carmen San Diego, Reading Rainbow, and Square One.
4) Hanging out with my grandma in the kitchen while my grandpa snored in his favorite chair- New Yorker on his chest, beloved pug Suzie at his feet.

My grandmother did grandmothery things like bake pies, make jello salad, and can peaches. The giant peach tree in their yard produced so many peaches that multiple paper grocery bags brimming with ripe fruit would materialize on my parents front porch weekly. Ever since I was a little girl, peaches have been the taste of summer.

It seems others agree! Peaches are poppin' up right and left in the food world, and I'm particularly fond of the peach grillin' phenomenon. My girl Isa Chandra Moscowitz of the Post Punk Kitchen doles up a recipe for Grilled Peaches with Ginger Coconut Caramel that has me running for store. Can't wait to throw a few of these on the barbe!
