Grilled Pound Cake & Peaches

Ingredients:
Serving 6 Helpings
1) 1 1/2 sticks unsalted Butter, divided use
2) ½ cup Honey
3) ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
4) ¼ teaspoon freshly ground Nutmeg
5) ⅛ teaspoon Salt
6) 6 Freestone Peaches, halved and pitted
7) 6 slices pound cake, sliced ¾-inch thick
8) Ice Cream of your choice
Preparation:
1) Melt the ½ stick of butter in the microwave and set aside for now.
2) In small saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining 1 stick of butter,
honey, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Heat until butter is melted, then dip peach
halves in the mixture.
3) Grill the peaches for 5 minutes, then flip them, cover, and grill for 5 more minutes.
Carefully remove them from the grill, slice each peach half in quarters and cover
to keep warm.
4) While the peaches are on the grill, continue to heat the honey butter mixture until
thick and caramelized, about ten minutes. It will get thicker once it cools down,
so err on the side of caution. If you find it's too thick, add some cream or milk and
heat it to loosen it back up.
5) Once the peaches are off the grill, brush both sides of each pound cake slice with
the melted butter. Grill them for about 2 minutes per side, until the slices are crisp
and golden.
6) Top the grilled poundcake with grilled peaches, cold ice cream, warm honey-butter
sauce, and swoon.
