They might even steal the show from the goddamn burgers if you let them. And the best part? No oven required. Y'all wanna grill some fruit, and some more fruit, and some goddamn dessert too?

Gather your shit together:- Pastry brush (you hear me, queen?)- You can swap out the nectarines for peaches in case that's all you got- Serves: 6- Difficulty: Easy as fuck, dear- Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients (why are you asking, I'm just gonna tell ya):
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated
- 3/4 cup roasted, salted pecans, finely chopped (get your raiders on if you're out)
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground (fucking hell, who can't handle a little cinnamon?)
- 1/4 cup honey (for the bees, of course)
- 2 tablespoons brandy (booze it up if you gotta)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 medium nectarines (or peaches) - ripe, but firm, no wimpy ass fruit here
Instructions (here we go):
- Heat that grill pan or your backyard grill to medium high (375°F to 425°F, if you care)
- Mix the mascarpone cheese, sugar, and lemon zest in a bowl until even
- Combine the pecans, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon in another bowl and get your fingers dirty
- Whisk the honey, brandy, and vanilla together in yet another bowl
- When the grill is ready, put the nectarines on a baking sheet and brush both sides with the honey mixture
- Place the nectarines on the grill, cut-side down, with the previously used baking sheet near your grill (multi-taskers unite!)
- Cover the grill and cook until “grill marks” appear on the bottom, about 2 to 3 minutes
- Flip the nectarines, sprinkle the pecan mixture on each half, and cover the grill again
- Cook until “grill marks” appear on the second side and the nectarines begin to soften, about 3 to 4 minutes more
- Take the nectarines off the grill and put 'em back on the baking sheet
- Serve immediately or at room temperature, with a dollop of the lemon-mascarpone shit on top before you serve 'em (because visually attractive bitches are always the first to go)
