GRILLED BARTLETT PEARS A LA MODE
Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
- Cut pears into thick slices (4 to 5 per pear). Place slices evenly in a large pan or bowl. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Pour melted butter over pears. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla to pan and mix until pears are thoroughly coated with the mixture.
- Place pears directly onto hot grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove pears and place in individual dessert bowls. Pour remaining butter mixture into a medium, grill-safe saucepan. Place saucepan on grill and cook, stirring, until boiling. Remove from heat.

Steps:
- Brush 4 of the biscuits with the melted butter and sprinkle with the demerara sugar, then bake according to the package directions (save the remaining biscuits for another use). Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice and salt. Bring to a simmer, then cook, stirring frequently and using the back of a wooden spoon to mash the berries, until the juice has thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, heat a grill pan or grill to high heat and oil the grates.
- Brush the peaches with oil and add to the grill, cut-side down. Cook, without moving the peaches, until charred grill marks develop, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the peaches, then cook until the peaches have heated through but still hold their shape, another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the grill and cut into bite-size pieces, then set aside.
- Split the biscuits open and place on the grill cut-side down. Grill until grill-marked, about 2 minutes. Tear the biscuits into large chunks.
- In parfait glasses, layer the biscuits chunks, a scoop of ice cream and blueberry sauce. Continue with another set of layers and finish with the grilled peaches and dollops of whipped cream.
GRILLED WATERMELON SUNDAE
Steps:
- Syrup:
- Add the lime juice, zest, honey, cayenne and salt to a small bowl. Whisk everything together until incorporated.
- Watermelon:
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
- Grease the grill with nonstick spray.
- Add the watermelon slices to the grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Brush the triangles with the syrup during the last minute of cooking. Transfer the watermelon from the grill to ice cream bowls and top them with generous scoops of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle the remaining syrup over the ice cream. Garnish with some whipped cream and sliced mint leaves and serve.
GRILLED PEARS
Grilled Pears! Oh these are yummy! Try them as is or with some whipped cream, a drizzle of honey, a la mode the possibilities are endless! Add whatever special touch you like! I have tried these as they are with a garnish of fresh chopped mint and that was excellent too! Grill them on on the top rack while you are making the main dish in the bottom or add them to the grill after removing the main dish and cook while you are eating.

Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm pears: This will ensure that they hold their shape when grilled.
- Use a variety of pears: Different varieties of pears have different flavors and textures, so using a mix will give your sundae a more complex flavor profile.
- Don't overcook the pears: They should be grilled until they are slightly softened and caramelized, but not mushy.

- Use a variety of toppings: In addition to the suggested toppings in the recipe, you can also add nuts, chopped chocolate, or fresh berries.
