Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup fresh mint leaves, divided
  • 6 peaches
  • Mild tasting oil

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, combine the sugar and 1/2 cup mint leaves. Pulse until the mint leaves are very finely ground and are evenly distributed within the sugar.
  • Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits.
  • Lightly brush the cut sides of the peaches with the oil, then set them on a hot grill. Leave a little space between them so that the hot air gets all around them.
  • Cook until grill marks form and they begin to lightly caramelize, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip them, and sprinkle on 1 to 2 tsp sugar. Let cook a minute or 2 longer to warm through.
  • Remove from the grill, garnish with fresh mint, or extra mint sugar, and enjoy!
