As the summer approaches, chances are you’re thinking about what meat you’re going to toss on the grill rather than about desserts. Before you think I’ve made a typo in my writing read on…Desserts on the grill are an easy way to a decadent mouth-watering treat with a heaping side of nutrition! Consider grilling fruit – the heat intensifies the sweetness in the fruit by caramelizing the sugars, and this process actually brings out the juices in fruits like peaches, plums and pineapples. When thinking 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 your grill thoroughly; no one likes steak-flavored peaches!
