Ingredients
brown sugar
2 tablespoons (packed)
fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons (juiced)
fresh raspberries
1 cup (divided (can use frozen, thawed))
fresh unpeeled peaches
2 medium (halved and pitted (about 10 oz))
vegetable oil cooking spray
as needed (for grilling)
Instructions
1
In a shallow dish, combine the brown sugar and fresh lime juice, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
2
Add 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries to the dish and gently mash them with a fork to create a sauce.
3
Carefully add the peach halves, cut-side down, into the marinade, turning them to ensure they are well-coated with the mixture.
4
Allow the peaches to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour, which will infuse them with the flavors of lime and raspberry.
5
Preheat the grill to medium-low heat, and coat the grill rack with vegetable oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.
6
Remove the peaches from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use. Place the peaches cut-side down directly on the grill rack.
7
Grill the peaches for 2 minutes, then carefully turn them over and grill for an additional 15 minutes or until they are tender, basting once with half of the reserved marinade during the cooking process.
8
Once grilled to perfection, remove the peaches from the grill and set them aside to cool slightly.
9
In a separate bowl, stir the remaining 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries into the reserved marinade. Spoon this fruity mixture over the warm peach halves before serving.
