For the last little while I have really been enjoying the peaches; A bowl of sliced peaches and blueberries for breakfast here, a few for a snack there… One thing that I had been wanting to try doing with peaches was grilling them and now seemed like the perfect time. I had some mascarpone in the fridge and I thought that the mascarpone melting on the peaches that were still warm from the grill would be really nice. Mascarpone is generally sweetened with something when used like this and I like to use honey for the extra flavour that it adds. I topped it all off with some balsamic syrup to add some tartness and round out the flavours. The grilled peaches with mascarpone and balsamic syrup took no time at all to whip up and they were really good. I garnished them with some chopped pistachios to add a bit of colour and some contrasting texture.

This is my kind of desert! Simple and so delicious. Of course I love anything with peaches…and pistachios.

That is beautifully plated, Kevin. The combination of balsamic and peaches is new to me– I usually associate it with berries. Looks delicious.
Kevin,
I love this combination, I really do. I must make this as I’m going to have couple of friends for dinner this week-end.
You had me at mascarpone, but the whole dish put together looks like pure bliss!
This looks spectacular, Kevin! Those chopped pistachio took it over the edge of yumminess for me.
Balsamic reduction is one of my fave things…peaches…Mmm…yummy.

Wonderful. I really love grilled peaches it brings out that wonderful caramel-y flavor. Nice serving idea! I’ve got a lighter version of this on my blog!
This is so amazing. I grew up with various peach trees in the garden, but now I have to buy them at a price…..

Love grilled peaches. Thanks for another idea of how to serve them!
I love grilled peaches ..with mascarpones must be superb
I’m such a dumbbunny….I don’t even know what marscapone is! But this sure looks pretty, with your chopped pistachios on top – green nuts are an amazing thing, aren’t they?
I love the sound of grilled peaches!!! And your picture is fantastic! Mascarpone too – double yum.
Mascarpone, good idea, I had not thought of that!
Another fabulous peach recipe. I love the touch of balsamic!!
Oh yummy! I keep meaning to try grilled peaches, love your recipe 🙂
That sounds awesome!
I love eating a fresh Niagara peach over the sink, but I could definitely be convinced to try it your way.
This is a great combo of beautiful flavours, Kevin!
Delicious!
Kevin, we’ve been going through fresh peaches hand over fist ourselves. So delicious this time of year! This particular recipe is so appealing…
I have always wanted to try grilling peaches. This looks great!
I tried grilled peaches for the first time a few weeks ago and loved them! Mascarpone sounds like a great addition.
I just made these with Blaze balsamic fruity syrup that Dana sent me. Oh my gosh, I think I could drink the bottle. I used ice cream but I love mascarpone.
Looks so beautiful and tasty. A lovely simple and light dessert.
wow, that looks like something that would be served at a fancy restaurant!
Amazing! I have be meaning to grill fruit all summer. If I don’t get to it soon, I’ll be kicking myself when I’m grilling in a snowstorm!
looks delicious Kevin, I like the sound of balsamic with peaches 🙂
Yum Yum! I love peaches too!
holy geez, yum!!
That looks divine Kevin! I do peaches in foil on the bbq, but it has rained here all summer, so no bbq 🙁 I will have to try them your way instead 🙂
That plating is beautiful. Could you do a school where you could teach my husband a thing or two? Pleeeeeasssssssssee. I am whining here.
Your desserts are always so inspiring just to look at! The whole things sounds divine!
Nice combo on the Peaches with the Balsamic Syrup.
yum, these grilled peaches look great! I have never tried grilled peaches though I do love grilled pineapple.
Oh, drool!! I have often made nectarines and peaches this way – it’s a quick standy dessert in the summer. Like the addition of pistachios – I think I’ll try that next time 🙂
This looks absolutely gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing. Hope you are having a wonderful time on your holiday!
What a stunning picture!! Mmm this sounds fantastic..
This looks and sounds a great dessert Kevin!

This is very very nice. I love the use of peaches here as the fruit, as it changes from the usual strawberry + balsamic combination.
