Grilled pound cake and peaches

Ingredients:

• 1 store-bought pound cake, cut into 1-inch thick slices
• ¼ cup melted butter
• 5 peaches, halved, stone removed
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• Vanilla ice cream

Method:

1. Preheat BBQ to medium heat.
2. Brush both sides of cake slices with melted butter. In a bowl, toss together peach halves and maple syrup.
3. Grill cake slices, uncovered, until grill marks appear, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Grill peach halves, skin side down until grill marks appear, about 3 minutes. Flip peaches and grill for an additional minute.
4. Top each slice of grilled cake with grilled peach halves and a scoop of ice cream.

Kary’s Tips:

• Use just ripe peaches for grilling; they’ll hold their shape better when cooked.
• Whipped cream can be substituted for ice cream.
• You can use any fruit topping in place of grilled peaches.
