Notes
Grilling Peaches Instructions:
Heat a gas grill to medium-high. Wash 4 ripe peaches, cut in half and remove the seed. Coat peach halves with cooking spray (use about two sprays per peach half). Place peaches cut side down on the grill and grill for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, until grill marks appear, and peaches are slightly softened. Remove peaches from the grill and place cut side up on a dessert dish.
