Grilling fruit is a wonderful way to caramelize the natural sugars that exist in the flesh, but the real surprise is how well the slightly charred taste from the hot metal grill works with a creamy sweet sauce like a sabayon

Ingredients Directions

Ingredients

4 ripe peaches, cut in half, stone removed

4 egg yolks

1 vanilla bean

1/4 cup brandy

1/4 cup icing sugar

1/2 tsp powdered cardamom

Pinch salt

1/2 cup whipping cream

Directions

1. Scrape the contents of the vanilla bean into the top of a double boiler with the egg yolks, brandy, icing sugar, cardamom and salt.

2. Whisk the mixture continuously over a pot of simmering water until it thickens, about four minutes.

3. Remove the pan from the heat and place in a bowl of ice water.

4. Continue whisking until the mixture is cool. This mixture is now called a sabayon.

5. In a separate bowl, whip the cream to stiff peaks and gently fold the sabayon into the cream.

6. Set the barbeque to medium.

7. Grill the peaches flesh side down for 2-3 minutes.

8. Spoon the sabayon over the grilled fruit and serve immediately.
