Do you have any fruit?

Grill or broil any of the following and serve with a dollop of mascarpone:

peach halves (sprinkle with nutmeg after grilling)
plum halves (sprinkle lightly with cinnamon)
fig halves (put a couple drops of good balsamic vinegar on top)
pineapple wedges (sprinkle lightly with allspice or vanilla extract)


If you don't feel like firing up the grill, you can serve the mascarpone
with the uncooked cut-up fruit. In that case you can add strawberries to the
list, and you might want to sprinkle them with brown sugar.
