Serves 4

Introduction

This grill menu is not particularly rich, even though it is filled with bold flavors. It would be wonderful followed by a creamy and fruity dessert, such as this combination of fresh peaches and raspberries with vanilla ice cream. If fresh raspberries are out of season, use a small package of thawed unsweetened frozen berries.

Ingredients

1 cup (½ pint) fresh raspberries
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 ripe peaches, peeled and pitted
1 pt. quality vanilla ice cream, such as Haagen-Dazs or Breyer’s

Steps

  1. In a blender or food processor, purée the raspberries and sugar until smooth. Strain through a fine-meshed sieve to remove the seeds. Cut each peach into 8 slices.
  2. Place 2 scoops ice cream in each of 4 dessert bowls. Spoon the raspberry sauce around the base of the ice cream and arrange 4 peach slices around the ice cream. Serve.
