Relatively healthy fruit desserts?

[resonant]

I made roasted peaches a couple of times this summer (an absolutely marvelous dessert -- you cut them in quarters -- a little butter, a little sugar, a little lemon juice, maybe a sprig of rosemary), and the spouse and the kidlet have been asking for them again, but there are no fresh peaches to be had.

Who has recipes along those lines? Mostly fruit, lightly sweetened, reasonably low in fat, something that a spouse with high cholesterol can eat multiple times a week?

Caramelized figs (quartered, drizzled with balsamic vinegar, sweet cream sherry, a dash of brown sugar and cinnamon). You can even make them in the toaster oven. And if you get ambitious you can make a sorbet out of them.

The Honeycrisps are beautiful right now, and they don't need any embellishment. Biting into one is like taking a hit right off a keg of unfiltered cider. For extra fun, though, you could put a dollop of warm caramel in the center of the dish, for dipping.

Pomegranates are going to be crazy good from now until January. Juice them and make a slightly-sweetened granita. You can up the ante with a little orange zest or tangerine juice.

Mangoes are still in the stores, and you can make a great 5-minute compote with them. They're also good ripe with just a wee sprinkle of black pepper.

Jell-O makes a fat-free, sugar-free pudding that can serve as a foundation for small fruit tarts. Mix up one package of lemon with one package of cheesecake, using fat-free milk. Use it to fill a tart shell, cover with sliced berries, and dot on a quick glaze made out of apricot jam and a bit of lemon juice. This is crazy wicked good.
