Let's Make Grilled Plums and Berries for Dessert

I was looking for a tasty dessert recipe a while ago and found this easy to prepare Hot Plums and Berries from Food Network site. I am a fan of Food Network Channel for quiet some time now. On my lazy weekend when I was in PI, I watch the show most of the time. I don't cook and I don't bake but, I love to eat any food that is delightful. Well, not the "balut" though, can't dare that. Anyway, here is the yummy dessert that I am talking about. The Preparation is 10 minutes and Cook Time is 20 minutes, not bad at all.

Directions:

Mix 4 tablespoons melted butter, 2 tablespoons sliced crystallized ginger and 3 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl; toss with 3 or 4 halved and pitted plums. Place the fruit, cut-side up, on a sheet of foil; scatter 1 cup raspberries and/or blackberries on top. Fold up the packet and grill over medium-high heat until the plums are tender and the berries are juicy, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with ice cream or yogurt.

Fiber is important in maintaining a healthy digestive system because it pushes toxins and other excess waste through the intestines and supports healthy and bowel movements. One of the soluble fibres found within blackberries is pectin which helps lower harmful cholesterol levels which lowers ones’ chances of heart disease.
