- 4. Meanwhile, bring 1/2 cup water to a boil. Pour in the sugar and honey and stir until all the sugar has dissolved.
- 5. Serve the peach halves with generous spoonfuls of the ricotta in the centers, and drizzled with the sugar syrup.
GRILLED PEACHES
Steps:
- Right before cooking, slice the peaches along the seam and pit them. Coat them in oil for cooking, being sure to give them a thick, even coating. I prefer to toss them in a gallon size Ziplock bag along with the oil and gently rub the oil into the peach. This reduces mess, which is critical when you might be in the backyard, far from access to a sink. Don't use extra virgin olive oil, as the smoke point is lower and may cause the peaches to taste burnt and smoky. Grill the peaches skin side up for 5-6 minutes. When they begin to sizzle and shine, turn them over onto their skin and cook for another 6-7 minutes, or until they soften and lose a little bit of their shape. Serve immediately, with or without a garnish of whipped cream or ice cream. If you don't have room to eat all the peaches you've grilled, they can be reheated in the microwave for about 30 seconds, and they still taste great the second time around.

Steps:
- Heat a gas grill to medium. If you are cooking on a charcoal grill, wait until the fire has died down to medium to low heat.
- Cut the peaches along their seams, all the way around, and twist their halves off their pits. Brush the cut sides of the peaches with olive oil and grill, cut side down, until the fruit has developed grill marks and started to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Brush the tops with oil, turn over and move to the side of the grill to continue cooking over indirect heat, another 4 to 5 minutes. You can add flavor by brushing them with maple syrup and bourbon, or molasses and butter. But if they are perfect peaches, they shouldn't need anything at all.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm peaches. This will ensure that they grill evenly and maintain their shape.
- Use a grill pan or outdoor grill. A grill pan will give you the best results, but you can also use an outdoor grill if you have one.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will help the peaches caramelize and develop a nice char.
- Brush the peaches with oil. This will help them grill evenly and prevent them from sticking.
- Grill the peaches for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred and softened. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
- Make the ricotta toast while the peaches are grilling. Simply toast some bread and spread it with ricotta cheese. You can also add honey, cinnamon, or other toppings of your choice.
- Serve the grilled peaches immediately on top of the ricotta toast. Enjoy!
