Grill the peaches and strawberries until tender and starting to brown. Remove the strawberries after 5 min. Flip the peaches and grill another 5 min. All the fruit to cool until it is easily handled. Pull the skins off the peaches. Cut fruit into 1/2 in. cubes, then combine in a large bowl. Stir in the honey and lemon juice. Allow to cool completely.
With an electric mixer, in a large bowl, beat the cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.

  1. A fool is a classic British dessert made from a fruit compote and whipped cream. They can be folded together, but the layered look is a much more appealing presentation.
