SKEWERED GRILLED FRUIT WITH GINGER SYRUP
This is a melange of quickly grilled fruit, brushed with a ginger sauce that itself takes about five minutes to put together. The sauce is a simple sugar syrup -- half sugar, half water, boiled together until the sugar melts -- and is infused with a lot of ginger. You could use other flavors instead (mint, lemon verbena, thyme, even chili), but ginger seems perfect to me.

Steps:
- Heat a gas or charcoal fire; it should be quite hot, with the rack positioned 4 to 6 inches from the source of heat.
- Combine the sugar, fresh ginger and 1/2 cup of water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, and let sit while preparing the fruit. (Refrigerate if you're not using this right away; it will keep for at least a week.)
- Cut the unpeeled bananas into 2-inch-long chunks, and make a shallow vertical slit in the skin for peeling at the table. Peel and core the pineapple, then cut it into 2-inch chunks. If you're using starfruit, cut it into slices 1/2 inch thick.
- Skewer the fruit. Strain the syrup, and brush it on the fruit lightly. Grill the fruit until the pineapple is nicely browned, 2 to 4 minutes to a side. While it is grilling, brush it occasionally with the syrup.
- When the fruit is done, brush once more with syrup. Serve hot or warm.

FRESH PEACHES WITH GINGER BISCUITS
Found in Delicious Living magazine. Breakfast, snack, dessert...perfection c/o summer's bounty! I added a small pinch of ground cardamom and reduced the amount of crystallized ginger dramatically from one half cup to two tablespoons in the original recipe. I really appreciate that this dessert is not overly sweet and relies mostly on the natural sweetness of the fruit.
