Discuss the types of fruits suitable for grilling, such as peaches, nectarines, pineapple, strawberries, and kiwi.

Wash the fruits and slice peaches and nectarines as needed.

Peel and slice the kiwi.

Remove the skin from the pineapple and cut it into rings or chunks.

Mention that strawberries can be grilled whole if they are firm enough.

If fruits are not sweet enough, add honey to enhance sweetness before grilling.

Grill the fruits on a barbecue until they are slightly softened and have grill marks.
