Grilled Peaches with Caramelized Brandy Pecan Sauce
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter or nonhydrogenated butter substitute
- 3/4 cup pecan halves
- 1/3 cup amber agave nectar
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream or soy creamer
- 2 tablespoons brandy
- 1 tablespoon amaretto (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or nonhydrogenated butter substitute, melted
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 4 large ripe but firm peaches, cut in half and pitted
- Sinfully Rich Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (page 82), Soy Vanilla Ice Cream (page 83), or Skinny Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt (page 83)
- Prepare the sauce by melting the butter in a saucepan.
- Add the pecans and saute over medium heat for about 3 to 4 minutes, until lightly toasted and fragrant.
- Add the agave nectar, cream, brandy, amaretto (if using), and nutmeg.
- Stir and simmer until just slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
- If necessary, the sauce can be reheated prior to serving.
- To grill the peaches, preheat the grill or grill pan.
- Make sure your grill is very clean and hot.
- Mix the butter and cinnamon together in a bowl.
- Brush each peach half on both sides with a bit of the melted butter mixture.
- Grill the peaches with cut-side down first, until slightly scorched by the grill on each side.
- Do not overcook or they will be mushy.
- To serve, place 2 peach halves on each serving plate and spoon some hot pecan sauce over them.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.
