With grilling season in full effect, you may be thinking about a variety of foods you can toss on the grill. Grilling fruit is an easy way to a decadent mouth-watering treat with a heaping side of nutrition!

The heat from the grill intensives the sweetness in the fruit by caramelizing the sugars; this process actually brings out the juices in fruits like peaches, plums and pineapples. When you think about what fruits to grill, choose fruits that are ripe but firm, firm fruits will hold their shape when heated – some of my favorites include: Plums, peaches, apples, pears, pineapple, bananas and figs!

TIP: Make sure you clean the grill thoroughly, no one likes chicken-flavored peaches!
