So, I also found this Fruit Kebabs Recipe that looked like a great way to top the meal off. However, there didn't seem to be lots of recipes for grilling fruit, so I suggest you experiment and try your favorites and maybe pair it with a favorite fruit dip. Then, let us know what works so we can all try some too!!:)
Grilled Fruit Kebabs Recipe
Lightly grilling fruit brings out wonderful flavors, especially in the peaches and bananas. Roll or
sprinkle the dressed skewers in toasted coconut for an extra treat.
Ingredients:
1 pineapple OR 1 can pineapple chunks
1 pint strawberries
2 bananas
3 plums
2-3 peaches
½ cup honey
2 tablespoons lime or lemon juice
1/8 cup chopped fresh mint leaves OR 1 tablespoon dried mint
1 cup toasted coconut (optional)
Wooden shish kebab skewers
Directions:
1. Soak wooden shish kebab skewers in water to prevent scorching on the grill. Prepare grill for
medium heat.
2. Prepare dressing by combining the honey, lime or lemon juice, and the chopped mint in a
small bowl.
3. Prepare fruits:
••• Peel and core the pineapple and cut into 2" chunks.
••• Peel the bananas and cut into 5 or 6 large pieces, sprinkle lightly with a small amount of
lemon or lime juice, reserving remaining juice for the dressing.
••• Cut the plums and the peaches in halves, discarding pits; then cut into 2" chunks.
••• Wash and hull strawberries.
4. Thread prepared fruit, onto wooden skewers, just as you would a shish kebab, alternating
various pieces of fruit on each kebab.
5. Place the fruit pieces on the grill for 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
6. Brush the fruit with the honey mixture during the last 4-5 minutes of cooking.
7. Place the kebabs on a serving platter, brush or drizzle with any remaining honey mixture,
and top with toasted coconut, if desired.
