Grilled Fruit Skewers with Ginger Syrup

Fruit Recipes

Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Start to Finish Time: 35 minutes

Yield: 4 to 12 servings, depending on selection

Make sure your grill is perfectly clean before you start this dish.

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1/4 cup peeled and thinly sliced fresh ginger
• 4 bananas, not overly ripe
• 4 peaches
• 1 small pineapple
• 1 papaya, ripe but not too soft

Combine first three ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and simmer 3 minutes. Remove from heat, cool to room temperature, and strain. (Refrigerate if not using right away; it will keep at least a week.)

Cut unpeeled bananas into 2-inch-long chunks and make a small slit in the peel. Quarter peaches, discarding pit. Peel and core pineapple; cut into 2-inch chunks. Peel papaya, cut in half, discard seeds, and cut into 2-inch chunks.

Thread fruit on eight skewers and brush lightly with ginger syrup. Grill over high heat until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Brush again with ginger syrup and serve warm.
