“Comfort Food for the Mind, Body, and Soul”: GRILLED BURGERS SEASONING and GRILLED PEACHES AND ICE CREAM

 

GRILLED PEACHES AND 

ICE CREAM

4 ripe, firm, fresh peaches

1/4 cup dark brown sugar

2 tsp. vanilla

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

 

Wash and quarter peaches, leaving skin on and removing pits. In a large bowl, toss peach quarters, brown sugar and vanilla until all peaches are coated. Let sit 15 minutes until coating is caramel-like. Toss again to coat evenly.

 

Place peach slices on grill, skin side up. Cook for 3-4 minutes, reducing heat as necessary to avoid burning. Turn peaches (still skin side up) to cook the other fleshy side for another 3-4 minutes, or until grill marks are visible and peaches are cooked.

 

Remove peaches from grill to a plate and cool before adding to ice cream. Serve with a large scoop of vanilla bean ice cream surrounded by 4 grilled peach slices. 

Garnish as desired (whipped cream, mint sprig, etc.).

 

GRILLED BURGERS 

SEASONING

 

 

 

 

 

2 tsp. paprika

1 1/2 tsp. black pepper

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. dark brown sugar

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. onion powder

1/4 tsp. ground cayenne (optional)

 

This makes a small amount of seasoning. Increase according to your needs. I like to make a lot and keep it in a shaker jar at all times!

 

Sprinkle on hamburger patties before cooking.

 

Lay a slice of cheese over burgers just before removing from grill. Top with your favorite toppings.
