There’s something about grilling fruit that brings out the best of its rich, juicy goodness.
Whether you use warm grilled fruit as a topping for your favorite homemade ice cream or you present it on skewers for maximum visual drama and portability, grilled fruit never lasts long when you serve it at cookouts and picnics.
A few pieces of grilled fruit can also make a great addition to salads. Or if you prefer, you can top your burgers with some grilled pineapple for a tropical touch.
Grilling fruit is very easy to do and is a fun way to add excitement to the desserts you serve outdoors. If you’ve been cooking on the BBQ grill all day, why not make the most of your already hot grill and grill up some fruits to help capture the spirit of Summer?
Some fruits that grill particularily well are fresh pineapples, peaches, nectarines, pears, apples, and bananas.
