Grilled Peaches with Blackberry Wine Sauce is such a simple, yet elegant end of summer dessert! Grilled Peaches also take less than 5 minutes to prepare! This time of year, I lament the loss of the sun and the inevitable end to my favorite cooking season! Grilling!
I have given you quite a few different recipes for grilling this summer like this gorgeous appetizer, Grilled Brie with Strawberries and Balsamic and these sticky, Smoky Ribs on the grill. Now, I thought to end my beloved grilling season, I would show you a super simple, but elegant dessert to serve when the peaches are ripe!
What you need
- peaches
- melted butter
- basil
How to make grilled peaches
- First, prepare the blackberry wine sauce. Place all of the ingredients in a small saucepan. Heat to boiling, then reduce heat and simmer until the sauce is thick and the berries have broken down, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This step can be done several days in advance.
- Cut peaches in half. (Make sure that you purchase freestone peaches! Clingstone peaches will not work because you can not get the 2 halves apart.) Brush butter on cut side of peaches.
- Place peaches on a hot grill, skin side down. Grill for 4 or 5 minutes.
- Flip peach halves and grill on the cut side for about the same time, until you achieve a nice grill mark. Serve with warm blackberry sauce and ice cream or whipped cream. Garnish with sprig of fresh basil.

What a fantastic treat for summer?! I am loving the grilled peaches with the summer blackberry combinations. The sauce is a fantastic way to use some of that left over wine I don’t drink up… Who am I kidding? I never have leftover wine, ha.. ha… I will just have to make that lovely sauce first before I pour myself a glass.
Binky
Haha! It’s actually just blackberries and red wine! Leftover wine at my house is very rare too! Thanks Katie!
Amanda
