Directions
|
1. Put the fruit on the skewers, alternating between banana and pineapple chunks, and set aside.
2. In a saucepan, put the sugar and place over medium-high heat; cook stirring with a wooden spoon until the sugar turns into liquid, about 3 to 4 minutes. Continue stirring and add the lemon zest and juice. Set aside.
3. Set your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Brush the skewered banana and pineapple with the glaze and put skewers on grill.
5. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, roll and cook 2 to 3 minutes, repeating until fruit is lightly browned on all sides.
6. Remove from grill and when cooled enough to handle, remove banana peels, then brush again with remaining glaze and serve.

Story

Simple and oh, so sweet. But, it's more than sweet - it's grilled! The grilling is what sets this dessert apart from just any old fruit salad combination. It's the perfect combination of flavors. This is a pleasant surprise when you're bringing the food in from the grill.
Instead of serving this fruit kabob as a dessert, you can also serve it over rice with pork tenderloin kabobs. Just make a simple balsamic vinegar reduction with a little pineapple juice and drizzle over the top of the dish. Yummy!
