Sweet Balsamic Glazed Grilled Peaches

4 ripe peaches, pitted and halved
olive oil
1/2 cup good quality balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp natural liquid sweetener (real maple syrup, honey)
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp almond extract
mint leaves for garnish, optional

Preheat your grill to medium-high.
Coat each peach half with olive oil and place on the grill cut side down; cook for 4 to 5 minutes each side, just until grill marks appear.
Prepare the glaze while peaches are grilling; in a small saucepan, bring vinegar to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until vinegar is reduced by half and thickens slightly. Add lemon juice, almond extract, and agave, stirring to combine. Remove from heat.
Remove peaches from the grill and place face up on a dessert dish.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve immediately.
For added flavor, garnish each peach with a mint sprig.
