An assortment of fresh fruitpeaches, plums, pineapple, mango, or pears
olive oil
2limes
vanilla sugar or honeyto taste
Instructions
Preheat grill to 400F.
Wash fruit and prep for grill. Cut stone fruit into quarters, and pineapple into wedges.
Toss fruit in a teaspoon or so of olive oil and place on the grill.
Grill 4-5 minutes per side, or until grill marks show.
Remove from grill onto a cutting board. Chop fruit into large, rustic chunks and add to a bowl.
Squeeze lime juice over fruit and add zest. Sprinkle vanilla sugar or drizzle honey over fruit.
Toss gently and serve at once.
Notes
Chopped or torn mint is another excellent flavour pairing with the grilled fruit. A few leaves are often enough, as you don't want the mint to overpower the fruit.
