Grilled Seasonal Fruit with Gelato and Balsamic Glaze

We made this at our grilling class and I didn't love the grilled pears.  I think that they needed to be more ripe but on the other hand, softer pears might have disintigrated while on the grill.  We used Comice pears and even after grilling, they were crunchy.  They were sweet though.  The pears were served with some vanilla gelato with a balsamic cream that they sell at The Chopping Block.  I am guessing you could have drizzled some regular balsamic vinegar on the dish.  Top them with chopped, toasted pistachios.  Watch your fingers when you chop them!

1lb. seasonal fruit, prepared as needed
1 tbsp, extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. orange zest
Gelato
Cream of balsamic
1/4 C. unsalted pistachios, toasted and rough chopped

Heat a gas or charcoal grill over medium heat

Toss the fruit with the olive oil and orange zest.  Grill the cut sides down until caramelized.

Place the fruit in a bowl, top with a scoop of gelato, drizzle with cream of balsamic, and top with a sprinkling of pistachios.
