Cooked desserts don’t always require a full kitchen. Ditch the oven and stovetop in favor of the grill and enjoy these seasonal stonefruit jars.
Peaches, apricots, nectarines, and cherries are bathed in brown sugar and balsamic vinegar and wrapped snug in tin foil. After they bubble up over the fire, they’re scooped into jars and topped with cool vanilla ice cream, maple syrup, and a sprinkling of sunflower seeds.
Stop salivating and get grilling.
