    Grilled Plums make the perfect end-of-summer dessert. Easy and delicious.

    Red plums are perfectly grilled, then drizzled with warm chocolate honey. Just add ice cream or yogurt. You can even turn these into a savoury side dish. You may also like this recipe for glazed pears.

    Grilling fruit is such a great way to enjoy it. It brings out the natural sweetness. If you are looking for an easy dessert recipe, just fire up the grill and you will have a delicious dessert in minutes. Here are a few of our favourites:

    • Grilled Strawberries drizzled with balsamic are perfect as an appetizer or dessert.
    • Smoked Apples have all the flavours of Fall.
    • Tropical Salsa is great for fish tacos and chicken.
    • Stuffed Avocado Boats are by far our favourite appetizer.

    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.

    Chocolate honey glazed plums for dessert.

    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.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    How many types of plums are there?

    So many, approximately 20 kinds, with a variety of skin colours and usually red or yellow flesh.

    How do you properly store plums?

    Store whole at room temperature until they are ripe. Once ripe place in the fridge.

    Do you need to peel plums?

    The peel is certainly edible and delicious. The skin contains fiber and other healthy nutrients. Always wash before eating.

      I’ve tried peaches and pineapple on the grill but never plums. What a great idea! I tried the last night to go along with our grilled chicken. We loved them! The honey was the perfect finishing touch.
