A few weeks back I shared a Grilled Peach and Vegetable Pesto Pasta that has been my most popular recipe this year. Clearly summer grilling and stone fruit are on everyone’s mind—grilled peaches are an easy way to bring bright, caramelized fruit to savory dishes.

It’s still early in the season for the best peaches, but even imported stone fruit is a welcome treat after many years living in Southeast Asia where tropical fruits were abundant but berries and stone fruit were rare. Soon Oregon peaches will be in season and you’ll want to use them everywhere: sliced over cereal, on waffles, in desserts like fruit pizza with a gingersnap crust, or incorporated into savory meals.

Grilled peaches are lovely on their own with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a scoop of frozen yogurt. When I received a package of gourmet olive oils and vinegars from Capizzano and saw their Serrano Honey Vinegar, I knew it would be terrific drizzled over grilled stone fruit. This recipe also works well with plums, apricots, or nectarines.

I hope this adds to your summer grilling lineup. The weather here in Oregon has been beautiful and we’ve been using the grill often. Expect a few more grilled recipes while summer is in full swing.

Tips for Serrano Honey Grilled Peaches

  • Serrano Honey Vinegar is a specialty product from Capizzano Olive Oils and Vinegars. Their olive oils and vinegars are great for elevating simple summer dishes.
  • If you can’t find Serrano Honey Vinegar, use white wine vinegar plus 1 tablespoon honey. Add a few serrano pepper slices to the dressing and let them steep for up to an hour to infuse a bit of heat, then remove the slices before dressing the salad.
  • For the family: The vinegar has a mild heat and a more grown-up flavor. For kids, brush peaches with olive oil and grill—plain grilled peaches are usually a hit.

Ingredients

  • 3 peaches semi-ripe, halved

US Customary – Metric

Instructions

  • Heat the grill over high heat.
  • Halve the peaches and remove the pits.
  • Combine olive oil and vinegar in a small bowl and mix well. Brush the mixture over the peach halves.
  • Stir lemon juice into the olive oil and vinegar mixture and set aside.
  • Arrange arugula on a platter. Use a vegetable peeler to create long ribbons from the zucchini; reserve the softer center for another use.
  • When the grill is very hot, place peaches cut side down and grill about 5 minutes. Remove and add to the platter.
  • Garnish with raspberries and pine nuts, then drizzle with the prepared dressing.

Notes

*Choose peaches that are ripe and sweet but slightly firm so they won’t become mushy or stick to the grill. **If substituting white wine vinegar and honey for Serrano Honey Vinegar, add chopped serrano rings to the dressing and steep for an hour, then remove the rings before serving to achieve a similar subtle heat.
