Quick! Grill something for dessert!

Hey all, just a quick, sweet, Sunday post for you all.  Now that it's starting to warm up here in Indiana (FINALLY!!), Hubby and I had the urge to start grilling.  We gave away our little Smokey Joe charcoal grill a year and a half ago when we moved away from Utah, because we didn't know if we'd be able to use it wherever we moved.  So, this last week, Hubby and I picked up a new little baby grill for our patio.  Here's hoping the apartment management doesn't notice...

So, after we had grilled chicken and asparagus for dinner (yum), as I was cleaning up, Hubby literally came running inside and said "Quick, the grill's still hot, what's something we can grill for dessert?!"  I'm not making this up.  SO, I looked in the pantry to see if there was anything, and this is what I came up with:


Grilled peaches and blackberries with vanilla ice cream.

Here's what I did:

Grab a can of peaches, some frozen berries if you have them, honey and/or brown sugar, and a square of aluminum foil.  Drain the peaches, and in the center of the foil, pile the peaches and berries, then drizzle with about 1 Tbsp honey and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp brown sugar.  Fold the foil into a packet, and cook on the grill until hot and bubbly - this took about 20 minutes with the dying coals in our little grill.

Here it is, just going onto the grill (I unfolded the foil for y'all to see):


And here's just after I pulled the packet from the heat and brought it inside:


This was DELICIOUS.  I'm pretty sure Hubby and I each ate our portions in about a minute and a half.  SO GOOD.  You can do this with just about any variety of fruit - I've done it with fresh nectarines before and that's always amazing.  And really, at least the fruit part is fairly healthy, right?  :)

Happy springtime grilling, everyone!
