| Grilled Peaches with
Amaretto-Pecan Caramel Sauce
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons amaretto (almond-flavored liqueur)
1 teaspoon chilled butter
1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted
6 firm ripe peaches, halved and pitted (about 3 pounds)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
cooking spray
Prepare grill. Combine granulated sugar and 1/3 cup
water in medium, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat; cook until
sugar dissolves, stirring gently as needed to dissolve sugar evenly.
Continue cooking 8 minutes or until golden brown (do not stir);
gently tilt pan and swirl mixture to evenly brown. Remove from heat.
Slowly add cider, amaretto, and butter, stirring constantly with a
long-handled wooden spoon (mixture will bubble vigorously). Cook
over medium-low heat 5 minutes or until smooth. Stir in pecans.
Remove from heat.
Sprinkle cut sides of peaches evenly with brown sugar
and salt. Place peaches, cut sides up, on range grill coated with
cooking spray; grill 5 minutes on each side or until tender. Serve
warm with sauce. On outdoor grill, check peaches for doneness at 2
minutes.
