Best 6 Skewered Grilled Fruit With Minted Yogurt Honey Sauce Recipes

GRILLED FRUIT SKEWERS WITH CHILI AND LIME

Steps:

• Soak 18 wooden skewers in water 20 minutes. Thread the watermelon, pineapple and mango cubes on the skewers. Put the skewers in a large zip-top plastic bag, being careful not to puncture the bag; add the lime juice, seal and toss gently to incorporate. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until ready to use.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Remove the skewers from the bag and place on a baking sheet. Brush the fruit with vegetable oil and place the skewers on the grill. Grill, turning once, until marks appear, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.
• Combine the lime zest, chili powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning over the grilled fruit.

GRILLED FRUIT SKEWERS WITH SWEET YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
• In a small pot combine the brown sugar with 1/4 cup water, cinnamon and orange zest. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Preheat the grill or grill pan over low heat.
• Thread 2 pieces of each type of fruit onto each skewer. Grill the skewers until the fruit is warm and lightly charred about 6 minutes giving the skewers a quarter turn every 1 1/2 minutes. Make sure to brush with the brown sugar syrup after each turn.
• While the fruit is grilling, make the dipping sauce. Whisk together the yogurt, orange juice, and 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar syrup in a serving bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons for the Online Round 2 recipe Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wraps.
• Arrange the skewers on a serving platter and serve with the dipping sauce on the side.

SKEWERED GRILLED FRUIT WITH MINTED YOGURT HONEY SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare grill for cooking.
• Stir together yogurt, honey, lime juice, and mint in a small bowl and chill until ready to serve.
• Thread about 4 pieces of fruit onto each skewer. When fire is medium-hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack 3 to 4 seconds), grill fruit in batches on lightly oiled grill rack, turning once, until browned and slightly softened, about 5 minutes total. Serve fruit on skewers with sauce on the side.

SKEWERED GRILLED FRUIT WITH GINGER SYRUP

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.

FRUIT KEBABS WITH VANILLA MINT YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together the yogurt, the sugar, the vanilla, and the mint. (The sauce may be made 1 day in advance and kept overed and chilled.)
• Tread the fruits, alternating the pineapple, the kiwis, the strawberries, and the honeydew, onto the skewers. (The fruit kebabs may be make 1 day in advance and kept overed and shilled.) Serve the fruit kebabs with the sauce.

SIMPLE HONEY-MINT-YOGURT DRESSING FOR FRUIT

Steps:

• Place the 6 ounces of Greek yogurt into a bowl or container deep enough to stir vigorously. Stir to break up the yogurt.
• Add chopped mint. Mash mint leaves with the back of a spoon, into the yogurt, to release the flavour. Stir well to combine.
• Add tablespoon of honey. Stir to combine.
• Allow to rest or serve immediately. This can either be stirred directly into chunks of fruit, or places on the side of fruit, to be stirred in when you eat it.
• A favourite combination of Summer fruit that I serve this mixed into, is fresh peach chunks and blackberries! Also great over bananas and strawberries.
