I hate even asking this question, but where the heck did summer go? My kids started school yesterday and I just can’t get over it. Our daughter is now a junior in high school and our son a fifth grader. I just can’t even believe it. I cried my little eyes out in my car after I dropped them off. It’s true what they say — they grow up in the blink of an eye.

With summer almost over I wanted to share a simple grilled appetizer that will be a hit with all your guests. I always have cheese and water crackers on hand and can whip up a cheese board like nobody’s business, but for this cheese board I grilled slices of fresh fruit elevating the presentation, because everything looks sexier with glorious grill marks.

I recommend brushing slices of fruit with some olive oil and grilling the fruit on a grill pan rather than grilling small slices of fruit on an outdoor grill.

I also included bowls of fresh honey and wild huckleberry jam from our recent family vacation to Yellowstone. I’ll share more about that trip later.

Grilled peaches with flour tortillas smothered with ricotta cheese and a drizzle of honey is one of our favorite summer treats and I included it on this board.

My daughter and I are obsessed with membrillo (quince paste) so that is always on our cheese boards.
