Fresh Grilled Peaches
with Ricotta Cheese

One of the best aspects of late summer is the abundance
of local ripe peaches and their many uses.
In our family I especially enjoy grilling them.
It’s simple to prepare not to mention how fancy they look plated.
This would make an excellent dessert to serve guests after a nice meal. Topped with fresh ricotta cheese,a drizzling of a balsamic reduction,

Ingredients:
2 ripe peaches, halved with pits removed
1/2 cup fresh ricotta cheese
1/4 cup of balsamic reduction
4 sprigs of mint

Directions:
Oil the grate (grill) and heat on med-high.
When the grill is nice and hot, grill each half peach
for 4-5 minutes per side.
Placed peaches on a plate with cut side facing up.
Place a dollop of approximately 2 tbl of fresh ricotta cheese
in the center of each peach half and drizzle with balsamic reduction. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
