Here's the perfect recipe for your favorite summer stone fruit! Grilled Peaches with Blueberry Basil Butter makes a great summer side dish or light dessert for any occasion.
Grilling peaches is a great way to showcase their sweet, tangy flavor. Top it off with a dollop of an easy-to-make compound butter chock full of blueberries and basil for a great creamy counterpart to the subtle tartness of the peach. This recipe, courtesy of Kellie Hemmerly of the Suburban Soapbox, is a new way to enjoy this summer favorite.
Grilled peaches couldn’t be easier to make. Just slice the peaches in half and remove the pit. Brush lightly with olive oil and place them on the grill. Once they have softened, remove to a platter and top with the blueberry basil butter. They’re wonderful as a side dish with something rich like barbecue ribs, but they also make a fabulous dessert that’s light and flavorful.
