Grilled Peaches with Fresh Raspberry Sauce

Sorry about the awful picture! Indoor night lighting = crap.
We ate this dessert with Shane's parents after dinner one rather stormy summer night.  We had jerk chicken, coleslaw and that yummy August corn that is so prolific 'round these parts.  Dinner was delicious and after we all ate our fill we added this light dessert to the mix.  Shane grilled the peaches on the charcoal bbq, which added more flavour than I thought possible.  But that bbq adds more flavour to everything!  It was sweet, fresh and bright.  While I wouldn't make it again, it's just not my kind of dessert, we really did enjoy it.  We served the peaches with a sweetened creme fraiche and a vanilla shortbread cookie.  It was delicious.

Baking notes:
-I used frozen raspberries thawed quickly in the microwave.  
-Instead of water and sugar added separately to the raspberries, which would give the sauce a grainy sugar texture, I added a simple syrup. (Equal parts sugar and water, heated to dissolve the sugar.)  I thought this was much better.
