Grilled Peaches and Pound Cake With Cider Vinegar Caramel Sauce Recipe

Smoky and sweet grilled peaches, tender and toasted grilled poundcake, and even a sweet-tart caramel sauce spiked with cider vinegar that's whipped up on the grill. If this isn't the perfect summer dessert, we don't know what is.

Dipping the peach halves in sugar before grilling creates a thin caramel crust on each one.

Spiking the caramel with cider vinegar creates a sweet-sour sauce that perfectly balances out the sweet peaches and cake.

Poundcake can be purchased or made in advance, then grilled up beautifully right before serving.

Ingredients:

• 4 small to medium firm-but-ripe freestone peaches, halved and pits removed
• 1 cup sugar (7 ounces/200g), plus more for dipping peaches
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar (235ml)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (60g), cut into 4 pieces
• Kosher salt
• 4 (1 1/2 inch thick) slices homemade or store-bought poundcake
• Whipped cream, for serving
