Grilled Peaches with Candied Walnuts

/

INGREDIENTS

  • ½ cup Mariani Walnuts

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • 2 yellow peaches or nectarines, cut in halves

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Add the walnuts and granulated sugar to a skillet over medium heat. Stir over heat for 5 minutes, until the sugar is melted, and the walnuts are toasted. Transfer the walnuts onto a piece of parchment paper and spread them out so that they do not clump together while they cool. Set aside.

  2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the cut side of the peaches with the melted butter. Place the peaches on the grill, cut side-down, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until you can see clear grill marks. Flip and cook them cut side-up for 2 minutes.

  3. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon onto the cut side of the peaches. Top with candied walnuts and a scoop of vanilla ice cream
