Sweet juicy fruit hot off the grill paired with warm berry sauce and ice cream is guaranteed to be an irresistible after-dinner treat.
1 pint strawberries
1/2 pint blueberries
3 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tbsp orange liqueur, optional
2 peaches
1 small pineapple, peeled and cored
2 tbsp honey
16 small scoops ice cream
Lightly oil grill and heat barbecue to medium-high. Wash, then hull strawberries. Pat dry with paper towels. Cut large ones in half but leave smaller ones whole. Place in a large bowl with blueberries. Gently stir in sugar and liqueur. Turn into a 9-inch (23-cm) foil pie plate, then tightly cover with foil. Slice unpeeled peaches in half. Remove and discard pits. Cut pineapple into thick rings. Brush peaches and pineapple rings with honey.
Place pie plate, peaches and pineapple on barbecue. Grill with lid closed until berries are warmed through and saucy, and grill marks form on peaches and pineapple, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn peaches and pineapple halfway through but don't turn berries. Remove from grill to a large cutting board.
When cool enough to handle, slice peaches into wedges and pineapple into small chunks. Remove foil from berry pan. Scoop ice cream into 8 bowls or pretty dishes, then top with hot saucy berries and chunks of fruit. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs. Serve immediately.
