1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Heavy-duty aluminum foil
Mint sprigs, for garnish
1. Preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Lightly spray grill with oil or cooking spray.

with a paring knife.

Sprinkle remaining cinnamon sugar over peaches and tightly close foil
around each peach.

from coals. Cook for 10 minutes, or until heated through.
7. Carefully open each packet in a serving bowl to capture all the juice.
Discard the cloves. Garnish with mint sprigs and serve hot or cold with ice
cream for dessert or as a side dish. Makes 8 servings.
