Here's my recipe for homemade salted caramel sauce. If using store-bought sauce, skip the bourbon.
We like our grilled peaches tender but still firm. You can grill them for longer if you want them softer.
It's best to prepare your mascarpone cream just before you serve your peaches so it's freshly whipped and cool.
On the other hand, bourbon salted caramel sauce can be prepared from two days up to a month ahead of time. Just store in an air-tight container. Do not refrigerate. If it hardens, microwave for 10 seconds and give it a quick stir.
Instead of grilling, you can also do this recipe on your stovetop or oven, check the FAQs for more info.
