In the warmer months, it's easy to forget that some fruits (such as nectarines, plums and peaches) can be grilled along with your favorite meats and vegetables. Grilling fruit brings out their natural sugars, which produces caramelization and more intense flavor.

Try grilled nectarines as an appetizer, as part of a salad or main dish or as a dessert!
