Grilled Stone Fruits

 

4 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 peaches, pitted, halved

2 nectarines, pitted, halved

2 plums, pitted, halved

1 tablespoon sugar

1 bunch fresh mint for garnish

Vanilla ice cream, optional, for serving

 

Preheat a well-oiled grill to medium.

Combine the melted butter and vanilla; lightly brush it over the cut sides of

the fruit. Place fruit on a plate and sprinkle lightly with the sugar.

Place the fruit, cut-side down, on the grill for exactly 4 minutes. Carefully

remove to a serving platter with a spatula and arrange decoratively. Garnish

with a big bunch of mint in the center of the platter and serve with ice cream,

if desired.

Yields 6 servings.
