I don’t know about you but we have been using our grill like CRAZY!!  I love grilling up fruit like pineapple so I knew stone fruits like these gloriously juicy peaches would amazing with a little caramelization!  Sometimes people ask how I get ideas for recipes and this one had a ton to do with this book I have called the Flavor Bible!  I was thinking I wanted to add peaches to the grill so I looked at the peach section of the book and saw that mint would be a fun herb to play with, which led to the mint section which i cross referenced with the peach section again aaaaaand LIME!   Mint + lime = mojitos and happiness!  I didn’t add rum to the mix but I am sure if you really wanted to you could.  I love how this dish came together SO MUCH though!
