If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

It´s Friday – which consequently means that the weekend is just around the corner. Since my diet is going so amazingly well (not) I´m thinking about celebrating with style and use the opportunity to share this delicious dessert with you guys. Let´s not forget that I have tickets to see Björk tonight – with the Chef – and since I haven´t seen her live in years I have to say that I´m super excited. Maybe we´ll even use the opportunity to grab some late dinner or something – I don´t know really…

But in the meantime – please enjoy this recipe – it´s kind of healthy since it´s mostly fruit. I just love them with icecream…

Grilled Fruit Kabobs with Coconut Apple Rum Glaze

Ingredients for Glaze:

• 2 cups apple juice
• ¼ cup coconut rum
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
• ¼ cup honey
• 4 fresh whole mint leaves

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, add the apple juice, coconut rum, brown sugar, ginger, mint, and honey.
2. Gently stir together and let it simmer until it reduces to roughly half. (Glaze will have a smooth dense consistency that coats the spoon.)
3. Remove mint leaves.
4. Pour into a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
5. While glaze cools, prepare the fruit kabobs.

Ingredients for Fruit Kabobs:

• watermelon, seeded and cut into 2” chunks
• cantaloupe, seeded and cut into 2” chunks
• pineapple, cut into 2 inch chunks
• large strawberries, trimmed
• bananas, cut into 2 inch chunks

Directions:

1. Soak bamboo or wooden kabob skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
2. Place one chunk of each of the different kinds of fruit: watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple, and banana, onto each skewer.
3. Brush glaze over each fruit kabob, coating each side.
4. Reserve remaining glaze for later.
5. Grill lightly over medium grill, just for a minute or so until golden brown, turning each kabob over to cook the other side, just until the glaze carmelizes.
6. Remove from the grill and serve with the remaining glaze in bowl as a dipping sauce. Enjoy!
