  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

  • 1/2 tablespoon honey

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 2 large peaches, halved and pitted Loose Peaches

  • ⅔ cup frozen coconut cool whip

  • safflower oil (small amount to brush on peaches so they don’t stick to grill)

Preparation

  2. Brush peach halves lightly with oil. For a charcoal or gas grill, Place peach halves cut-side-down on grill rack directly over medium-high heat. Grill, covered, for 3 to 4 minutes or until just heated through and grill marks begin to form. You could do this in the oven as well at 350 for 5-6 mins cut side down.

  3. Place a peach on a plate then drizzle each with a small amount of balsamic syrup. Spoon coconut cool whip evenly over peaches.

    Notes:

  • you can do this in a frying pan or stovetop grill as well.
