Cooking Corner: Easy grilled peaches

Grilling fruit is a great way to add more of this nutrient-rich, naturally sweet and fiber-loaded food group to your diet. As fruits slowly grill, the sugars caramelize, resulting in wonderful changes in flavor and texture.

Fruits that grill nicely include plums, nectarines, melons, apples, pineapple — and summer-ripe peaches.
