Grilled Peaches with Rosemary Hot Honey, Yogurt, and Lemon Thyme
Serves 6
Peaches define the simplicity of summer. Juicy fruit, full of flavour, is made even more delicious with a quick grill, finished with a dollop of yogurt. Topping the warm fruit is a surprising twist: a drizzle of sweet and spicy hot honey finished with a dash of herbaceous lemon flavour.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) manuka or wildflower honey
- 1 serrano pepper, stem removed and sliced crosswise
- 1 tsp (5 mL) dried red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp (5 mL) sherry vinegar
- 1/2 sprig of rosemary
- 3 large peaches
- 1 Tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil for brushing
- 6 Tbsp (90 mL) plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp (5 mL) fresh lemon thyme or regular thyme
Directions
01
To small saucepan, add honey, serrano pepper, red pepper flakes, and vinegar. Heat on medium-low for about 7 to 10 minutes, or until mixture starts to simmer. Remove from heat, add rosemary sprig, and allow it to infuse with peppers for a further 10 to 15 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into clean Mason jar, and reserve. Seal jar if making ahead of time.
02
Slice peaches in half and remove pits. Heat grill and brush each peach half with olive oil. Place flat side down and grill for 2 minutes; turn each half by 45 degrees and grill for another 2 minutes. Turn peaches over and grill for a further 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to 6 individual plates or large serving platter. Top each half with 1 Tbsp (15 mL) yogurt, and drizzle each with 1 tsp (5 mL) of hot honey mixture. Finish with sprinkling of lemon thyme leaves. Reserve any remaining honey for other uses (see tip).
