Cinnamon Grilled Peaches

4 large ripe freestone peaches
8 cinnamon sticks
8 fresh mint leaves
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted buttter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup bourbon
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
a pinch of salt

cut the peaches in half, running the knife in a circular motion around the peach to the stone - twist the halves in opposite directions to separate them - pop out the stone with a spoon and throw it at your sister

cut each peach half in half

using a pointed chopstick or metal skewer make a starter hole in the center of each peach quarter (from outside to pit side) - skewer two peach quarters on each cinnamon stick, placing a mint leaf between each quarter - do it again...

combine the butter, sugar, bourbon, cinnamon and salt in a saucepan and boil until thick and syrupy - about 5 minutes

set up your grill for direct grilling and preheat to high - brush and oil the grill grate

grill the peaches until nicely browned on both sides - 3 to 4 minutes per side, basting with the bourbon butter - serve at once over your ice cream... or...

skip the grill and just make the syrup - place each peach quarter on your ice cream and pour the warm syrup over the top... call a paramedic!!!
