Of the many things we know and love to grill, for most of us fruit is not one of them. It's just not something we grew up with grilling, and not something that would obviously come to mind. After all, fruit is nature's perfect fresh food, right? Right; but if we really stop and think about it, we are already enjoying a number of cooked fruits and dishes.
To be sure cooking fruit is nothing new. But grilling fruit is a very new concept to many of us. And that's truly a sad state of affairs because grilled fruits have so very much to offer. They are low-calorie, low-fat, and high in vitamins and antioxidants; they are also readily available and economical.
What holds people back the most from grilling fruit is that we simply don't know how or what to grill. It's pretty obvious that you can throw just about any plain old meat on the grill and come off with something delicious; but who knew that the same is essentially true for fruit?
Fortunately there are only a few things you really need to know in order to be able to grill fruit successfully. A few basic techniques and a list of the most grill-worthy fruits will have you off and running; a collection of good recipes to kick it up a notch will really have you set.
