A Trio of Grilled Desserts

Taking a small bbq grill to camp has its advantages.  It can expand your cooking capabilites.  Perhaps you don't want to do any campfire cooking but prefer using the grill and Dutch Oven.  For whatever reason here are 3 desserts to make on the grill.

 PEARS WITH HOT FUDGE SAUCE


  6                     pears -- peeled/halved/cored
                        juice 1 lemon
     1/2           cup  sugar
     1/4           cup  red grape juice
                        HOT FUGE SAUCE
  1                cup  chocolate syrup
  1               TBSP  instant coffee
     1/3           cup  orange juice

Place pears on a large square of heavy-duty foil.  Add the lemon juice,
sugar & brandy.  Seal foil into packet & form into a packet.  Place 8"
above gray coals and grill for 15-20 minutes, turning packet every 5
minutes.

Hot Fudge Sauce: In a saucepan on the grill, combine the remaining
ingredients & heat until bubbly, then serve pears with hot sauce.

         BAKED AMARETTO APPLES


  6                     Granny Smith apples -- or Rome Beauty
  6               TBSP  orange marmalade
  6               TBSP  almonds -- slivered
  1               TBSP  almond extract
  5               TBSP  water  
  6               TBSP  butter

Peel and core apples, leaving them whole.  Place each on a square of
heavy-duty foil and fill centers with all but the butter.  Dot with the
butter and seal packets.  Place 8" above gray coals and grill for 35-40
minutes, turning every 10 minutes.  Length of cooking depends upon the
size of the apple.  The apples should be easily pierced.

               HOT FRUIT SAUCE FOR ICE CREAM or POUND CAKE

  1                cup  pineapple -- diced
  1                cup  seedless green grapes
  1                cup  peaches -- sliced

  1                cup  pitted dates -- chopped
     1/2           cup  pineapple preserves
     1/2           tsp  ginger -- ground
     1/4           cup  apple juice

Place all ingredients into a large square of heavy-duty foil.  Seal foil
into packet and place 8" above gray coals.  Grill for 15-20 minutes,
turning packet every 10 minutes. Serve hot, spooned over ice-cream or
grilled pound cake.

2 slow fire and beat with a small wire whisk until the mixture is as thick as heavy cream. It is important that the water should not boil; add cold water if it gets too hot.
