Number Of Ingredients 5

Steps:

  • Heat grill or broiler to medium-hot. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Add all fruit, and toss.
  • Fold the edges of a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil to form a shallow baking pan, and place on grill. Arrange the fruit, cut sides down, on the foil. Cook fruit until browned and caramelized around the edges, rearranging occasionally to prevent burning. Turn the fruit over, and repeat; serve.

Nonstick spray
3 firm but ripe nectarines, halved, pitted

3 firm but ripe red plums, halved, pitted
6 metal skewers or thick wooden skewers soaked in water 30 minutes
3 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Spray the grill rack with nonstick spray and prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Thread 1 piece of each fruit on each of 6 skewers so that the cut sides line up and lay flat. Sprinkle the sugar over the cut sides of the fruit. Let stand until the sugar dissolves, about 10 minutes.
  • Place the fruit skewers on the grill cut side down. Grill the fruit until it is heated through and caramelized, about 5 minutes. Transfer 1 fruit skewer to each plate and serve.

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar
4 ripe yellow or white peaches, cut in half
4 ripe red plums, cut in half
4 miniature ripe bananas, cut in half lengthwise

Steps:

  • Heat a grill until medium hot, or heat the broiler. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Add all fruit, and toss.
  • Fold the edges of a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil to form a shallow baking pan, and place on grill. Arrange the fruit, cut sides down, on the foil. Cook fruit until browned and caramelized around the edges, rearranging occasionally to prevent burning. Turn the fruit over, and repeat; serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm fruits: This will help them hold their shape on the grill and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Slice fruits into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Brush fruits with oil: This will help them caramelize and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
  • Grill fruits over medium heat: This will help them caramelize without burning.
  • Flip fruits halfway through cooking: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Remove fruits from the grill when they are slightly tender and caramelized: Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Serve grilled fruits immediately: They are best enjoyed warm.

Conclusion:

Caramelized grilled fruits are a delicious and easy way to enjoy fresh fruit. They can be served as a side dish, dessert, or snack. With a little bit of preparation, you can create a variety of grilled fruit dishes that will impress your friends and family.
