Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 firm-ripe peaches, halved and pitted
One 1-pound pound cake, ends trimmed, cut into six 1-inch-thick slices
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Lightly sweetened whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

Combine the sugar and cinnamon stick with 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Simmer until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla and let stand for 10 minutes. The syrup can be made up to 3 days ahead and kept refrigerated; reheat until warm before serving.
Meanwhile, prepare a grill for medium heat, making sure the grates are very clean. Brush the cut-sides of the peaches and one side of the pound cake slices with the butter.
Grill the peaches, cut-side down, until well marked, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into wedges. Grill the pound cake slices, buttered-side-down, until lightly marked, about 2 minutes.
Serve each slice of pound cake with the wedges of half a peach; drizzle with syrup and top with a dollop of whipped cream.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 peaches (or nectarines)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (1/4 cup)

Steps:

Prepare a grill for medium direct heat.
For the rub, put the sugar in a small bowl. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the sugar using the tip of a sharp paring knife (tuck the bean into a bowl of sugar for vanilla sugar).
Mix the vanilla seeds with the sugar, using the tips of your fingers to break up clumps. Stir in the pepper and cinnamon.
Cut the peaches in half; remove the pits. Brush the cut sides lightly with oil; sprinkle generously with the spice rub (you will not use all the spice rub -- reserve the remaining for another use).
Place the peaches, cut sides up, on a lightly oiled grill; grill until the peaches are starting to soften and the skin side is marked by the grill, about 3 minutes.
Turn; grill until the sugar is nicely golden and caramelized, about 2 minutes (move to a cooler part of the grill if they are browning too quickly).
Turn the peaches cut-side up again; place 1 tablespoon of the goat cheese in the center of each.
Grill peaches until goat cheese is warmed and just beginning to melt, about 1 minute. Transfer to a platter.
Sprinkle the goat cheese with a little more of the spice rub.
Serve hot.

Tips:

Choose ripe, firm peaches for grilling. Avoid peaches that are too soft or bruised.
To prevent the peaches from sticking to the grill, brush them with a little oil before grilling.
Grill the peaches over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred and softened.
If you want to add a smoky flavor to the peaches, you can grill them over a bed of charcoal or wood chips.
Serve the grilled peaches immediately with your favorite toppings, such as ice cream, yogurt, or whipped cream.
