Recipe of the Week: Grilled Peaches with Almonds and Honey


Grilled Peaches with Almonds and Honey:
(serves 4; points value:  2 per serving)


2 spray(s) cooking spray  
4 large peach(es), firm but ripe, cut in half, pits removed  
2 Tbsp sliced almonds, natural, chopped  
2 tsp honey, mild (such as clover honey)


Coat a grill or a grill pan with cooking spray. Preheat to medium heat.  Place peach halves, cut sides up, on a baking sheet; lightly spray tops with cooking spray.  Place peach halves on grill, skin sides down, and cook until skin starts to split, about 2 minutes. Using tongs, carefully flip peaches and cook, until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes more.  Remove peaches from grill and place on a serving plate; top each peach with 3/4 teaspoon of almonds and drizzle each with 1/4 teaspoon of honey. Yields 2 peach halves per serving. 

Dave made these the other night and they are so decadent!  I can't believe a whole peach covered in honey and almonds is only 2 points!  We'll definitely make these again!
