  • Lightly brush the sausages with oil. Prick each sausage a few times with a fork. Whisk 2 tablespoons of the honey, the lime juice, and vinegar, and then brush all over the nectarine halves. Save the remaining honey-lime mixture for basting the nectarines on the grill.
  • Grill the sausages over direct medium heat, with the lid closed, until fully cooked and show no sign of pink when cut to the center, 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally. At the same time, grill the nectarine halves over direct medium heat until browned in spots and warm throughout, 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the remaining honey-lime mixture each time they are turned. Remove from the grill as they are done.
