Sauce

455 grams fresh dark cherries, pitted (about 455 grams pitted cherries)
120 milliliters dry red wine
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon kirsch (cherry liqueur)

4 medium fresh peaches
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
Vanilla ice cream
4 rolled cookies
4 fresh mint sprigs

Instructions

In a medium skillet over medium-high heat on the stove, combine the cherries, wine, granulated sugar, and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool until tepid. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and purée until completely smooth. Return the mixture to the skillet. Stir in the kirsch and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and boil, stirring often, until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (180° to 230°C).
Prepare the grill for cooking over medium heat (200°C).
Cut the peaches in half and remove and discard the pits. Place the halves in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan set over low heat on the stove, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Coat the peaches with the butter mixture.
Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the peaches over direct medium heat, with the lid closed, until grill marks are clearly visible and the peaches are tender, 8 to 10 minutes, turning once. Remove from the grill and allow to cool slightly.
