Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons brandy
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Olive oil
3 firm but ripe peaches, pitted and quartered
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
1/3 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup dry white wine

Steps:

Stir the sugar, brandy, and lemon juice in a medium bowl to blend. Set the brandy mixture aside. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for medium-high heat, or preheat a ridged grill pan over a medium-high flame. Lightly brush the grill rack or pan with oil. Grill the peaches until they are heated through and beginning to brown, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes. Immediately transfer the grilled peaches to the brandy mixture, and toss to coat. Set aside for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally. Meanwhile, in a small bow, stir the mascarpone and vanilla to blend. Divide the peach mixture equally among 6 coupe dishes and pour the wine over the peaches. Dollop the mascarpone mixture atop the peaches, and serve.
