How to Barbecue Fruits

Barbecuing fruits is a unique and delicious way to enjoy the natural sweetness of fresh fruits with a smoky flavor. Here are the steps to barbecue fruits:

1. Choose the right fruits: Not all fruits are suitable for grilling. Firmer fruits like pineapples, watermelons, peaches, nectarines, plums, apples, and pears work best.

2. Clean the fruits: Wash the fruits and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut off any stems or leaves.

3. Preheat the grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking.

4. Cut the fruits: Cut the fruits into slices or halves. For larger fruits like pineapples or watermelons, cut them into wedges.

5. Add flavor: You can brush the fruits with melted butter or olive oil and sprinkle them with brown sugar, cinnamon, or honey for added flavor.

6. Grill the fruits: Place the fruits on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until they have grill marks and are slightly softened.

7. Serve and enjoy: Remove the fruits from the grill and serve them warm or cold. You can also serve them with ice cream, yogurt, or whipped cream for a delicious dessert.

Tips: - Keep a close eye on the fruits as they cook, as they can burn quickly due to their high sugar content. - Use a grilling basket or skewers to prevent smaller fruits from falling through the grates. - Don't overcrowd the grill, as it can cause uneven cooking and make it difficult to flip the fruits. - Experiment with different fruits and flavor combinations to find your favorite.
