Ingredients

1/4 cup bourbon
2 sticks butter, softened
2 cups light brown sugar, packed firmly
2 lemons, juiced
1/2 cup water
Assorted fruit cut in 1/2 (peaches or plums)

Directions

Put the bourbon into a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Boil for 1 minute to burn off the alcohol. Add the butter, brown sugar, lemon juice, and water. Bring to a boil whisking until all the sugar is dissolved. Simmer for 5 minutes. Let cool to thicken. Toss fruit with the glaze to coat or brush glaze over fruit with a pastry brush. Place fruit on the grill and turn once when light grill marks appear. Serve with ice cream and drizzle the remaining glaze over the fruit.

An awesome dessert
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have only cooked this once and will, I know be cooking more and more. My 15 year old granddaughter said she wanted this... instead of birthday cake on her family birthday dinner. I have never tasted such a wonderful sauce or glaze. Did exactly as the recipe called for except reduced the lemon to 1/2 of what called for. It turned out perfectly. Thanks to someone who reviewed and warned about the lemon. Other than that, every thing was perfect. We had fresh pineapple sticks and peaches ( this is better than pineapple upside down cake). I am not a fan of ice cream unless we do it this way. You must try.Read more

We grilled peaches, apples, and bananas - bananas were our favorite. Make sure you slice the fruit in fairly small pieces... when you grill them. We just cut the peaches and apples in 1/2 when we grilled them - next time we will slice them into smaller pieces. We actually could have just eaten the sauce. We didn't have lemons, so we left it out - don't think I would use them in the future based on other comments. This is absolutely heavenly and worth it! Read more

Excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

One of my few five-stars. Simple, elegant, delicious. I wound up simmering the sauce a bit longer than recommended to... thicken it further. An "airplane" bottle is a quarter cup and decent enough quality for this dish. I skimmed the foam off the sauce after it cooled. (Maybe really good butter would have made a difference.)Read more

This recipe is "OMG Yummy" I added thick slices of fresh pineapple and used nectarines instead of peaches - it was a hit!
