Grilled fruit is an easy, healthy way to end a summer barbecue, and satisfy the taste buds of any guest. When selecting your pieces of fruit, it is important to choose ones that are on the firmer side of ripe, because if they're too soft, they will turn to mush when you cut them and not hold up well on the grill. Stone fruits, such as peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums, and pluots, are best to use, especially since stone fruits are at their peak this time of year. Cut the fruit in half vertically, brush with olive oil, and grilled until desired, resulting in intensely flavored fruit with beautiful grill marks. For extra flavor, finely chop some fresh rosemary to add into the olive oil. Drizzle your delicious grilled fruit with balsamic vinegar to add some extra zing or serve with fresh cream, ricotta or mascarpone cheese, or ice cream. Or both! Remember, the possibilities are limited only to your creative imagination.
