Tips for Grilling Stone Fruit:

Choose ripe, firm fruit: Overripe fruit will fall apart on the grill, while underripe fruit will be too tart.
Wash and pit the fruit: Cut the fruit into halves or quarters, removing the pits.
Brush the fruit with oil: This will help prevent the fruit from sticking to the grill and will also help it caramelize.
Grill the fruit over medium heat: Cook the fruit for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is slightly charred and tender.
Serve the fruit warm or at room temperature: Grilled stone fruit can be served on its own, or it can be used in salads, desserts, or other dishes.
