Ingredients

Grilled Plums and Pears

  • 4-6 plums and pears
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons sorghum, plus additional for garnish
  • ½ teaspoon cardamom, ground

Pistachio Creme

  • 4 ounces ⅓-less-fat cream cheese
  • ½ cup milk
  • ⅓ cup sorghum
  • ½ cup pistachios, shelled

 

Instructions

  1. To make pistachio creme, puree cream cheese, milk, sorghum and pistachios. Freeze overnight.
  2. When ready to grill, slice the plums and pears in half. With a melon baller, scoop out the pit and pear seeds and create a hollow center.
  3. In a small bowl, combine butter, sorghum and cardamom. Grill plums and pears, basting with butter-sorghum mixture, until they are soft, about 1 hour.
  4. Serve with a spoonful of pistachio creme in the center and an additional drizzle of sorghum, if desired.

Tips & Notes

If you don’t have sorghum on hand, you can substitute with honey.
