Her process? “I just usually throw ’em on,” she said, smiling.

Grilling vegetables and fruits is easy, said Walton, who is in charge of Grill Crazy and the local farmers market.

This is how it works: First, pick out your vegetable or fruit, most anything you like, from squash and green beans to tomatoes and grapes, can be grilled. When the peaches are ripe, those are great, too, but be sure to put those in foil, as they are delicate and will fall apart, Walton said. No marinade is needed for the peaches, he added.

Next, wash and cut your food, keeping the fruits and veggies even in thickness so as to keep the cooking time the same, he said.

Marinade comes next. Any ingredients can be used, as this is a choice of personal taste, but olive oil as a base is a common first step. At Grill Crazy, one marinade of choice included olive oil, vinegar, water, sugar, cumin, paprika and garlic.

Joel Everett, who coordinates special projects for Muskogee Parks and Recreation, volunteered to help marinate, among other duties. He said honey is good in marinade as it helps the other ingredients stick to the vegetables or fruits.

Knowing when to stop marinating is simple: If the juices start pooling, you’re done, he said.

“There’s only so much you can put on there,” Everett said.

Corn, grilled in the husk, needs no marinade, but it does need to be soaked in water for 20 to 30 minutes so it can steam itself on the grill, Walton said. From corn, which is quite large, to grapes, which are much smaller, most anything can be grilled, he said.

Come July, Jerome Karasek will be selling grapes he grows on his farm in Stone Bluff, a small town north of Haskell, he said. Saturday, he helped marinate vegetables, saying grapes can be grilled, too, and are especially good when piled around pork chops, marinating the meat as it cooks.

Deb and K.J. Marshall, who live in Leonard, said they like eating grilled vegetables, especially enjoying Saturday’s event because it’s not something they do often.

“It’s kind of a unique way to eat,” Deb Marshall said.
