Instructions

1. Build a charcoal fire for direct grilling, or heat your gas grill to medium high.
2. If using stone fruit, cut in half and remove the pit. Brush the fruit with melted butter, and place onto the grill, cut side down. Grill for 3-6 minutes, or until you see deep grill marks. Turn over, and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes.
3. Remove from heat. If using maple syrup for added sweetness, brush the fruit with syrup. Immediately sprinkle the Kentucky Bourbon rub over each piece of fruit. Serve with optional mint leaves.
