Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 vanilla beans, divided
  • 10 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 vanilla bean
  • 4 ripe white peaches, rinsed and blotted dry
  • 1/2 cup finely ground walnuts
  • 6 tablespoons coarse white sanding sugar

Directions

Melt butter and honey in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Split the whole vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Scrape all the seeds from 1 vanilla bean and place into saucepan along with the vanilla bean. Stir to combine; let simmer until sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes then reduce heat to low.

Preheat indoor grill pan to medium heat on stovetop.

Place mascarpone cheese and honey into a medium bowl. Split the remaining 1/2 vanilla bean in half lengthwise, scrape all the seeds from the bean and place into bowl; discard the bean. Stir to combine and set aside.

Cut each peach in half and discard the pit. Dip peaches cut side down into the butter-honey sauce and in batches, place onto hot grill pan. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes, until peaches have nice grill marks.

Combine walnuts and sugar into a bowl. Place grilled peaches, onto serving plates, 2 per plate. Top each with a dollop of mascarpone cheese and sprinkle with walnut sugar. Remove the vanilla bean from honey sauce and drizzle a spoonful of warm sauce over peaches and plates. Serve warm.

    Vanilla beans are very expensive, the flavor from the husk is wonderful, just put it into your sugar bowl, whole, or chopped up, or into your creamer, or even use it as a drawer freshener or in your lotion bottle - it's wonderful :^

    I don't do a lot of cooked fruit recipes, but when I saw this one on URS, I thought it looked so yummy, I had to try it. I only had enough honey for the butter sauce, so I used agave nectar in the mascarpone. It was so delicious!
