Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 large ripe freestone peaches
8 cinnamon sticks
8 fresh mint leaves
4 tablespoons salted butter
4 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons bourbon
1 teaspoon lime juice
Peach or vanilla ice cream

Steps:

Cut peaches in half, and remove stone. Cut each peach half in half. Using a metal skewer, make a starter hole in center of each peach quarter. Skewer two peach quarters on each cinnamon stick, placing a mint leaf between each.
Prepare bourbon butter glaze. Combine butter, sugar, bourbon and lime juice in a saucepan, and boil until thick and syrupy, 3 to 5 minutes.
Set up grill for direct grilling, and preheat to high. Brush and oil grate. Grill peaches until nicely browned on both sides, 2 to 4 minutes a side, basting with glaze. Serve at once, with ice cream.
