Whether as a dessert in winter or as a treat in summer, fruit tastes super flavourful when grilled.

Apples, pears, figs and bananas are particularly suitable. However, other fruit with firm flesh such as mango and apricots can also be used for barbecue skewers.

Cut the fruit into cubes or pieces and put them on skewers. The fruit can be flavoured with vanilla, ginger, cinnamon or cloves. Bananas can also be placed on the grill with the skin on; they are cooked when the skin is brown. You can also wrap the pieces of fruit in aluminium foil and place them on the grill.

The grilled fruit tastes delicious served hot with vanilla ice cream.

 

Overripe fruit becomes too soft on the grill and is therefore unsuitable.

 

Tip: Soak the pieces of fruit in fruit juice before grilling.
