- Preheat a grill for medium-high heat.
- Brush peaches with a light coating of oil. Place pit side down onto the grill. Grill for 5 minutes, or until the surfaces have nice grill marks. Turn the peaches over, and drizzle with a bit of honey. Place a dollop of the cream cheese spread in the place where the pit was. Grill for 2 to 3 more minutes, or until the filling is warm. Serve immediately.
Grill It Safe
Even if you have been grilling out for years, take a look at these precautions before you fire up your grill and toss a steak on an open flame.
- Make sure to marinate your meat before you cook. When you do, make sure to keep the meat cold in the fridge while it marinates.
- Thaw meat completely before grilling.
- Remove fat from meat before cooking.
- Remove any charred portions from meat before you eat it.
- Use a meat thermometer to make sure your meat is a safe temperature. Poultry should be at least 165 F. Beef, pork, lamb and veal should cook until at least 145 F.
