On the Fourth of July, before the meat and fish hit the grill, I decided to throw on some fruit. I've always loved the way roasting summer stone fruit like peaches and apricots deepens their flavors, and I thought a sizzle on the grill might do the same. It did. Just a few minutes on each side – enough to create griddle marks on a peach or an apricot and soften it, but not so long that the fruit collapses, brought out the juices and warmed the fruit through. When I removed the peaches and apricots from the grill I tossed them with a little honey and lemon zest.

On a summer night, this warm combination, served with vanilla ice cream, is hard to top, and perfect for a party. But when I grilled the peaches and apricots again I decided to do something else: I made crêpes first, and used the fruit as a filling.

I couldn't get grilled fruit out of my head, and worked on other recipes after I grilled the peaches and apricots — not just desserts, but salads with grilled fruit (some wonderful combinations) and a starter of grilled figs.

I didn't fire up my outdoor grill just to grill fruit, however. You can grill fruit just as easily on a grill pan, a griddle on the stove, or an electric indoor grill. But if I knew that a friend planned to grill, I took fruit. If I didn't get it onto the grill before the other food was cooked, I'd wait for the residue to cook off and then give the grate a good scraping with a spatula; I didn't want my pineapple or watermelon tasting like fish or steak.

Arugula Salad With Grilled Apricots and Pistachios: Grilling the apricots makes them contrast beautifully with the pungent arugula in this salad.

Grilled Figs With Pomegranate Molasses: Serve these figs warm as an appetizer with goat cheese, or as a dessert with ricotta or yogurt.

Crêpes With Grilled Peaches and Apricots: Crêpes are great to have on hand for desserts, and easy to make with a nonstick or seasoned crêpe pan.

Grilled Watermelon and Feta Salad:
A winning combination: sweet, juicy watermelon paired with salty cheese and pungent onions.

Grilled Vanilla-Ginger Pineapple:
A sweet and pungent mix of vanilla and ginger syrup adds new dimension to a grilled pineapple.
