• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt
• Honey (for drizzling, optional)
• Vanilla ice cream (for serving, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the center of the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the napkins.
3. Light the napkins and allow the fire to build.
4. Wait approximately 20 minutes for the grill to reach the optimal temperature.

Step 2: Prepare the brown sugar glaze

1. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
2. Stir until fully combined and smooth.

Step 3: Grill the peaches

1. Brush the peach halves with some of the brown sugar glaze.
2. Place the peaches cut-side down on the hot flat cooktop near the center of the Arteflame grill.
3. Grill for 3-4 minutes, pressing them lightly to ensure even caramelization.
4. Flip the peaches and brush with more glaze.
5. Grill for another 2-3 minutes until tender but still firm.

Step 4: Finishing touches

1. Remove the peaches from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
2. Drizzle with any remaining brown sugar glaze.
3. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of honey if desired.

Tips

• Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent them from becoming too mushy while grilling.
• Keep the peaches near the center of the cooktop for the best caramelization.
• Butter adds a rich flavor—avoid using olive oil to maintain the best taste.
• Grill all your other food on the Arteflame flat cooktop while the peaches cook.

Variations

1. Maple Glazed Peaches: Substitute brown sugar with maple syrup for an extra depth of flavor.
2. Spiced Peaches: Add a pinch of nutmeg and clove to the glaze for a warm spice kick.
3. Bourbon Peaches: Splash a teaspoon of bourbon into the glaze for a smoky sweetness.
4. Coconut Peaches: Replace butter with coconut oil and top with toasted coconut flakes.
5. Nutty Peaches: Sprinkle with crushed pecans or almonds before serving.

Best pairings

• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
• Grilled pork chops or chicken for a sweet-savory contrast
