Carey Paquette of Arlington, Virginia, writes: "When it comes to cooking, I make an effort to prepare healthful meals, but wouldn't call myself a fanatic. I believe that olive oil goes in everything and wine goes with everything; I just use them in moderation. My boyfriend and I cook almost every night as a way to unwind. It's nice to come home after a hectic day and make dinner together rather than pull something prepackaged out of the freezer."

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

6 firm but ripe large peaches, peeled, halved, pitted
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup chilled whipping cream
3/4 cup caramel sauce, warmed

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Arrange peach halves, cut side up, on baking sheet; sprinkle peaches with sugar. Let stand until sugar begins to soften, about 10 minutes. Place peaches on grill, sugared side down. Grill until tender and slightly charred, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer peach halves to plates.

    Step 2

    Using electric mixer, beat whipping cream in bowl until peaks form; fold in 1/4 cup warm caramel sauce just until streaks appear. Spoon caramel whipped cream alongside peaches. Serve, passing remaining caramel sauce separately.
