Sweet Grilled Peaches with Fruity Blackberry Sauce
These grilled peaches are tender and juicy, getting a lovely caramelization from the heat. The homemade blackberry sauce adds a bright, fruity topping that everyone will enjoy.
Key Ingredients & Peach Grilling Tips
- Ripe Peaches for Grilling: Choose peaches that are slightly soft but not mushy. This ensures they caramelize well on the grill without falling apart.
- Fresh Blackberries for Sauce: Using fresh berries for the sauce gives the best, brightest flavor. Frozen can work too, but you might need a tiny bit more sugar.
What You Need for Peach & Sauce
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 2 tablespoons sugar (for sauce)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for sauce)
- 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil (for grilling peaches)
⏱️ Time: 20 mins🍽️ Yields: 4 servings
How to Make This Peach Dessert
Step 1: Prep Peaches and Grill
Brush the cut sides of your peach halves with butter or oil. Heat your grill to a medium-high setting. Place the peaches cut-side down on the hot grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes until you see nice grill marks and they start to soften. Flip them and grill for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 2: Make the Blackberry Sauce
While the peaches are grilling, combine the fresh blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook this over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, gently mashing the berries with a spoon, until the sauce thickens a little.
Step 3: Serve Warm Peaches
Remove the grilled peaches from the grill. Spoon the warm blackberry sauce generously over them immediately. This is wonderful served plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
📝 Final Note on Blackberry Sauce
Store any leftover blackberry sauce in the fridge for up to 3 days. It’s also great on pancakes or oatmeal!

How to Make This Honey Peach Dessert
Step 1: Prep Peaches for Grilling
Lightly brush the cut sides of your peach halves with butter or oil. Get your grill ready at a medium-high heat setting. This helps prevent sticking and adds a little extra flavor.
Step 2: Grill the Peaches
Place the peaches cut-side down directly on the hot grill. Cook for about 4-6 minutes until you see nice grill marks and the peaches begin to soften. Flip them over and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the skin side.
Step 3: Make Cinnamon Honey Sauce and Serve
While your peaches are grilling, gently warm the honey and cinnamon together in a small bowl. You can do this in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or in a tiny saucepan on the stove. Spoon this warm sauce over the grilled peaches right away.

For an extra delicious treat, sprinkle some chopped pecans or walnuts over the top of the peaches before serving.
