Grilled Nectarines

I grew up eating canned peach halves filled with chutney, sprinkled with curry powder and broiled until browned and tasty, to go alongside grilled leg of lamb.I still love cooked fruit as a side to grilled meats and summer is the perfect time to try grilling any kind of stone fruit.
In the fall and winter you can still grill fruit! Try pears or sliced apples, and oranges or lemons are great with grilled fish.

Grilled Fruit
Cut fruit in half (apricots, peaches, plums or nectarines), toss with extra virgin olive oil, salt & pepper and place on a hot grill until you can see grill marks forming. Flip once and then pull off and serve with your favorite grilled meat. Chicken, pork, lamb or duck all work well, even beef! Add spices like curry, cumin or cinnamon, garnish with fresh herbs like basil & thyme. Brush with molasses, pomegranate molasses, honey or aged balsamic vinegar. Be creative, so many choices, so little time...
