Suggestions/Recipe Tips
Plums – Can be any variety you like. I used red in this recipe.
Oil – I like avocado oil because it does not burn at high heat and has a mild flavour. Feel free to use any oil you like.
Honey – I used chocolate honey for this recipe. Any kind of honey will work. Slightly warm to make it easier to work with. Maple syrup is another great choice. Looking for a savoury dish? Balsamic glaze with goat cheese is delicious.
Garnish – If you want more toppings, try ice cream, yogurt, mascarpone cheese, or whipped cream.
Serving – Serve immediately. These do not keep well after cooking. Great as a dessert, or as an addition to brunch. The perfect side dish for chicken, fish, or pork.

I’ve grilled peaches but never thought of grilling plums and they were ah-mazing! I added a little balsamic vinegar to the honey and it really brought out the flavor.

Throwing fruit on the grill is one of my favorite ways to finish a BBQ – and this recipe really elevated the slightly acidic plums I had! The touch of honey was just what they needed

I’ve always enjoyed grilled peaches, but for some reason never thought “plums”. So made these and some peaches, drizzles with local honey and wow, mouth watering good!

Such an easy and delicious fruit dessert! I love to grill fruits like plums, peaches, and pineapples. I love the idea of drizzling warm chocolate, honey!

The warm honey drizzle on these plums is so good.
Kristina
These were a lovely alternative to grilled peaches and tasted fantastic. Warm plums aren’t something I ever thought about eating, but it was perfect for using up the plums that were just a little bit too ripe to enjoy fresh.
