Tips:
- Choose firm fruits: Softer fruits, such as berries, can fall apart on the grill. Instead, opt for firmer fruits like pineapple, peaches, and watermelon.
- Cut fruits into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a well-oiled grill: This will prevent the fruit from sticking.
- Grill fruits over medium heat: High heat can scorch the fruit.
- Turn the fruit frequently: This will help it cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the fruit: It should still have a slight crunch.
- Serve grilled fruit with your favorite toppings: Yogurt, ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of honey are all great options.

Grilled fruit is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy summer's bounty. It's a versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or dessert. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily grill fruit at home. So fire up your grill and give it a try!
