Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
Cut peaches in half, and remove stone. Cut each peach half in half. Using a metal skewer, make a starter hole in center of each peach quarter. Skewer two peach quarters on each cinnamon stick, placing a mint leaf between each.
Step 2
Prepare bourbon butter glaze. Combine butter, sugar, bourbon and lime juice in a saucepan, and boil until thick and syrupy, 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 3
Set up grill for direct grilling, and preheat to high. Brush and oil grate. Grill peaches until nicely browned on both sides, 2 to 4 minutes a side, basting with glaze. Serve at once, with ice cream.
