Grilled Fruits

It’s summertime. It’s time to grill. I’m thinking about fruit. Grilling fruits elevates grilling to a whole new level. Endless flavors with endless surprises.

Ingredients

  • One 1 inch slice of watermelon, cut into four triangles
  • One 1 inch slice of pineapple, cut into four slices and core removed
  • 2 apricots, halved and stone removed
  • 2 peaches, halved and stone removed
  • 1 mango, cut along stone (eat the part with the stone attached while preparing food 😄)
  • 1 lemon, cut into three slices (optional)
  • 1 lime, cut into three slices (optional)
  • Toppings like ice cream, herbs, honey, feta cheese, etc.

Instructions

  • Start your charcoal or wood fire grill (or add more fuel if already used for main course)
  • Cut your fruits in chunky pieces (so they won't fall through the grate)
  • Brush fruits with a heat-resistant neutral oil, like grapeseed (optional)
  • Once your charcoal or wood is ready, add lightly oiled cooking grate and wait a few minutes to heat up (that will give you the nice looking grill marks)
  • Add fruits and cook about three minutes per side. If they char too quickly, move them to a cooler area on the grill.
  • Remove from heat and create your dessert by adding your favorite toppings

Notes

Tip: Cooking over fire is not exactly an exact science. Use your senses. If your fruit is getting too much heat, move it to a cooler spot. If your fruit is not getting enough heat, move it to a hotter spot. Three minutes should be looked at as a guideline and not a timer.
