Photo: Grilled Summer Fruit Recipe
Ingredients
- Nonstick spray
- 3 firm but ripe nectarines, halved, pitted
- 3 firm but ripe purple/black plums, halved, pitted
- 3 firm but ripe red plums, halved, pitted
- 6 metal skewers or thick wooden skewers soaked in water 30 minutes
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- *Other fruit substitutions can be apricots and peaches
Directions
Spray the grill rack with nonstick spray and prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Thread 1 piece of each fruit on each of 6 skewers so that the cut sides line up and lay flat. Sprinkle the sugar over the cut sides of the fruit. Let stand until the sugar dissolves, about 10 minutes.
Place the fruit skewers on the grill cut side down. Grill the fruit until it is heated through and caramelized, about 5 minutes. Transfer 1 fruit skewer to each plate and serve.

So great! We made it at a cookout and my dad, who is picky-picky, ate them and came back for more. We did peaches and plums! I will do it again!

Loved this idea from Giada. I used peaches only (all I had and demerara sugar. It is a crystalized brown sugar that carmalizes with a little crunch. Served the peaches with vanilla bean ice cream and a raspberry sauce.
Thanks Giada!

My kids love this and so do I. Much better than artificial deserts. Great for snacks as well.
