GRILLED PEACHES WITH YOGURT WHIPPED CREAM AND OAT CRUNCH

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• For the yogurt whipped cream: Vigorously whisk the yogurt, heavy cream, vanilla bean paste, brown sugar and lemon zest together in a medium bowl until the mixture thickens and can hold its shape. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the oat crunch: Melt the butter in a medium ovenproof skillet directly on the grill. Stir in the oats, almonds and salt until coated. Stirring occasionally, cook the oats and almonds until just beginning to turn golden, about 5 minutes. Add the honey and brown sugar to the pan and stir until the sugar melts. Continue stirring and tossing for another 2 minutes until everything is well coated. Transfer the oat mixture to a baking sheet to cool, about 5 minutes. Break up the crunch into bite-size pieces. Toss the basil ribbons with the oat crunch until evenly distributed.
• For the peaches: Cut each peach in half and remove the pit. Whisk the brown sugar, lemon juice and honey together in a large bowl. Add the peaches and gently toss until evenly coated.
• Grill the peaches cut-side down over medium-high until grill marks develop and some of the sugars begin to caramelize, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the peaches and grill until the skin is slightly charred, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the peaches from the grill.
• Divide the grilled peaches evenly among 4 bowls. Dollop a generous amount of the yogurt whipped cream on top and sprinkle with a handful of the oat crunch. Serve immediately.

GRILLED PEACHES WITH MOONSHINE SYRUP AND SORGHUM YOGURT

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the cut sides of the peaches with sorghum and sprinkle with salt. Melt the butter in the hot grill pan, then lay the peaches cut-side down in the pan to start charring. Be careful not to move them, because the sugar in the sorghum will create beautiful grill marks. Cook until the edges of the peaches are bubbling and caramelized, about 2 minutes, then turn 90 degrees and cook 1 to 2 more minutes to create diamond grill marks. Remove the peaches and set aside.
• Mix together the yogurt and sorghum in a bowl.
• Make the moonshine syrup: Combine the sugar, moonshine, vanilla, lemon zest and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and set aside.

• Put the kettle on, and fill a large bowl with iced water. Place the peaches in another large bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover. Leave for 30 secs, then remove the peaches with a slotted spoon and plunge them into the cold water. The skins should now peel away easily.
• Place the wine, honey and vanilla pod in a pan large enough to hold all the peaches, then gently heat until the honey has dissolved. Lower the peaches into the pan, cover and simmer gently for 15-20 mins until tender but not overly soft. Using two wooden spoons, turn the fruit 3 or 4 times while cooking and frequently baste with the syrup. Remove the cooked peaches from the pan and set to one side in a large bowl.
• Boil the syrup hard until it has reduced by half (this will take about 10 mins). Spoon over the peaches, then set aside to cool. The peaches will keep for up to 2 days, covered and in the fridge. Serve the peaches and syrup at room temperature, warm or chilled with spoonfuls of clotted cream, if you like.
