While it's hot outside, it doesn't have to be inside! Beat this week's sweltering summer heat with a refreshing dessert: Honey Glazed Grilled Plums. Boxes this week feature plums and/or pluots and these sweet stone fruits taste great with the added smokiness of the grill.

Honey Glazed Grilled Plums
Ingredients:
4 firm plums, halved and pitted (about 3/4 pound)
6 tablespoons honey
3 cups vanilla frozen yogurt

Method:
1. Preheat a grill to medium.
2. Toss plums and 2 tablespoons honey in a large bowl. Liberally brush a grill rack with oil. Grill the plums, flesh side down, on the rack until lightly browned — about 3 minutes. Turn and grill on skin side until plums soften and are warmed through — 2 to 3 more minutes.
3. Serve 2 plum halves with 3/4 cup yogurt immediately.
