Grilled Peaches
Diabetic Recipe

Firm fruits like apples, pears and pineapple are delicious and easy to grill. Softer fruits like mango, papaya, peaches and nectarines require special attention since they cook quickly, and if overcooked, will reduce to a mush. These fruits need only to be heated and not "cooked." You might also like to try bananas, tangerines and pineapples grilled in their skins.

Many fruits, including bananas, pineapples, peaches, plums, apples, and pears can be cut in half, pitted or cored, and grilled. Oranges and other juicy fruits do best cut into thick slices. In general, leaving the skin or peel on the fruit helps it maintain its structural integrity as it cooks.

Directions:
To grill a peach or any other fresh fruit ...

Simply cut into wedges and flip right on the grill.

The heat of the grill will release natural sugars and cause the fruit to begin the carmelization process. Grill for about two minutes per side.

Enhance the sweetness of the fruit by splashing with a few drops of aged balsamic vinegar.
