Ingredients

 

1 cup sliced Ontario Pears 250 mL
1 cup sliced Ontario Necatrines or Peaches 250 mL
1 cup Ontario Coronation Grapes 250 mL
1 cup Ontario Raspberries 250 mL
1 tbsp packed brown sugar 15 mL
1 cup coarsely crumbled Amaretti cookies 250 mL

tip

To slice pears, cut into quarters, core and slice crosswise.

Amaretti cookies are an Italian almond-flavoured cookie available in some grocery or bulk and Italian stores. To coarsely crumble cookies, place in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.

Directions

In a large bowl, combine pears, nectarines, grapes, raspberries and brown sugar; spoon onto a small rimmed baking sheet (13 x 9 inch/33 x 23 cm) and sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Place on grill over medium heat 350° F (180°C); close lid and grill for 6 to 8 minutes or until bubbling.
