Grilled Apricots

Apricot season kicked off here is CA last week and I've been itching to grill some fresh fruit so here we go

Start with these



And some of this



Halve them and pit them



Brush both sides with vegetable oil and on the grill at high heat (using oak lump and some peach pellets) face down until golden brown (about 2 1/2 minutes)



Flip and grill for another minute or so



Ready to go



While the fruit is resting toast up some almond slivers



Melt the chocolate



Drizzle the chocolate over the cots and top with almonds



Served up with a little fresh whipped cream



This came out awesome and I plan on doing more fruit as the season progresses. If you do apriocts make sure and let them sit on the counter until they are starting to get soft, this will help mellow out some of the acid in the fruit.

Carter - those are so awesome! I'm going to see if I can find some apricots here and try this over the weekend.

Awesome Carter! We will be trying this one!

In the contest I saw that shot of the grilled apricots with chocolate drizzled all over & then topped with toasted almonds. I thought, "Now that's just playing dirty... wonderfully and deliciously dirty!"

We'll be doing some of those soon too!

Another inspiring dish Carter .

i like this one alot. one of the best.
