Skewered Grilled Fruit With Ginger Syrup Food

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.

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

Steps:

• Thread a strawberry, pineapple and cake on a skewer, repeating two more times per skewer. Heat the honey and lime juice in the microwave for 30 seconds and brush on each skewer.
• Line the Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil on the grill, dull side facing the food and punch holes all over to allow the juices to drip through. Cook on low, turning the skewers to evenly brown all of the sides.
• Once they are browned, remove them from the grill. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, for 45 seconds, and drizzle the melted chocolate on the fruit skewers.
• Serve and enjoy some yourself!

TOASTED COCONUT GRILLED FRUIT SKEWERS

Steps:

• 1. Soak fruit in a bowl of coconut water for about 10 minutes. Coconut water should just cover the fruit (the fruit will float a little). Soak wooden skewers in tap water for about 10 minutes to prevent burning.

• 3. Thread an assortment of fruit on skewers.
• 4. Heat the grill pan on medium heat on your stove or set your grill pan on your outdoor grill for more of a smoky flavor. Let it preheat for about 5 minutes. Then spray with coconut cooking spray.
• 5. Set the skewers on the grill pan. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on two sides.
• 6. Remove the skewers from the grill and place them onto a serving tray. Sprinkle with toasted coconut. Serve warm.
