There’s a real wow factor to bringing a huge platter to the table with a whole pineapple and big wedges of melon. Especially when they’re grilled. Throwing fruit on the barbecue concentrates the sweetness and makes those natural flavours really shine, especially with a splash of homemade syrup.
Ингредиенты
- 1 pineapple, peeled and cored
- 1 small watermelon, with rind, cut in half
- 1 orange, peeled with a knife to remove rind and pith
- 1 mango, peeled and cut in half, pit removed
- 1 just-ripe banana, unpeeled, cut in half lengthwise
Инструкция
- Preheat half of the grill, setting the burners to high.
- Tightly wrap the pineapple in two layers of aluminum foil. Place on the side of the grill that is off and close the lid. Cook for 1 hour or until tender, maintaining a temperature of 400°F (200°C) and turning halfway through the cooking time. Place on a plate and remove the foil.
- Preheat the rest of the grill, setting the burners to high. Oil the grate and the banana.
- Grill the pineapple and other fruit for 5 to 12 minutes, depending on their size, turning often. Make sure they are well marked. Place them on a large cutting board and let cool. Before serving, cut the fruit and glaze with Citrus Syrup or Red Fruit Syrup, if desired.
