Grilled Peaches in a Dark Rum Bath recipe

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/4 cup dark rum
6 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
1 pint caramel ice cream

Prepare a medium fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas or electric grill on medium.

In a small saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from the heat and add the brown sugar and rum. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Place the peach halves in a large bowl. With a rubber spatula, gently stir in the rum mixture and continue stirring until the peaches are well coated.

Grill the peaches directly over a medium fire, cut side up, until grill marks are visible, about 5 minutes.

Turn the peaches over. Cook until grill marks show and the peaches are tender, about 4 or 5 minutes more, brushing any leftover rum mixture on the peaches as they grill.

Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream.
