We just heard about this recipe from a guy at the store, where we were begging for boxes. When we said we needed the boxes for our peaches, he said (drooling a little at the thought) "Have you ever tried grilled peaches?" His recipe was simple -- cut a large ripe peach vertically into thirds, glaze with honey and butter then "smush into the grill to make sure it cooks all over" -- when done, scrape off skin and serve pureed over ice cream."  Here's another version we found:

Grilled Peaches

Delicious with grilled fish, seafood, pork or chicken.
  • Peaches, 1 per person
  • 1/2 cup sherry vinegar or balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Halve the peaches, remove pits. Drizzle with about 2 teaspoons of the lemon juice. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.

In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, brown sugar, remaining lemon juice and black pepper. Boil until reduced by about 1/2.

Place peaches cut-side down on a hot lightly oiled grill. Cover and cook for about 2 minutes, or until there are grill marks. Turn over and baste the cut sides with the vinegar mixture. Cover the grill and cook for about 3 more minutes, or until softened. Serve over vanilla ice cream or use for salsa.

Scott's and Wil's version of the recipe: 

Include a bag of marshmellows on your ingredient list. 
Toast marshmellows over hot coals after grilling peaches. 
Throw out the peaches and eat the marshmellows.
