Why not toss a little fruit on the grill tonight? New York Times Bestselling Author Pam Anderson shares the goodness of grilled fruit

If you're grilling the main course and the vegetables, why not toss on a little fruit as well? That's the question New York Times Bestselling Author Pam Anderson asks in her book, The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight. As Pam shares, "topped with a little yogurt, perhaps a sprinkling of chopped nuts, a grilled peach, pear, or apple half is a perfect way to end the meal."

Recipe from The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight by Pam Anderson

Choose one of the following:

3 ripe pears, halved and cored

3 firm but ripe peaches or nectarines, halved and pitted

3 crisp apples, such as Granny Smith, halved and cored

1 pineapple, peeled, halved, cored, and cut into 6 wedges

1 tablespoon of olive oil

Heat gas grill, igniting all burners on high, with grill lid closed, for at least 10 minutes. While grill heats, toss fruit with oil. Clean hot grill rack with a wire brush, then, using spring-action tongs, rub rack with vegetable oil soaked rag.

Arrange fruit on hot grill rack.  Cover and cook, turning only once about halfway through, until fruit has grill marks on both sides and is just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
