Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 limes (reserve 1, halved, for garnish)
3 pints fresh raspberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 pint fresh blueberries
1 pint fresh blackberries
2 large or 4 small ripe peaches, halved and pitted (skin on)
1 pint lowfat vanilla frozen yogurt (or lowfat vanilla ice cream)

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill or broiler. While grill is warming, zest limes and juice them (reserve zest and juice separately). Chop enough zest to make 1 tsp. Combine 2 pints raspberries with 1/4 cup sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until berries start to release juices and break down. Puree in a blender, then pour through a fine-mesh strainer to remove seeds. Season to taste with lime juice and set aside. Toss together remaining raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries with remaining sugar, lime juice, and lime zest and set aside. Grill peaches and lime halves quickly, until they have grill marks and are warmed through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill.
  • To serve: Combine a peach half with 1/2 cup frozen yogurt in the bottom of a shallow dish. Spoon equal amounts of raspberry sauce on top of frozen yogurt and finish with equal amounts of raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. Garnish with grilled lime.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season peaches. Look for peaches that are fragrant and have a slight give when you press them gently.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also broil the peaches in the oven. Preheat the oven to high and place the peaches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Broil for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the peaches are slightly charred and softened.
  • If you're using frozen peaches, thaw them completely before grilling. You can also grill frozen peaches without thawing them, but they will take longer to cook.
  • Be careful not to overcook the peaches. They should be slightly firm to the touch when you remove them from the grill.
  • Serve the grilled peaches immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include ice cream, whipped cream, yogurt, granola, or chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

Grilled peaches are a delicious and easy summer dessert. They're perfect for a cookout or a casual get-together. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and impressive. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give grilled peaches a try.
