Honey Grilled Fruit Recipe
Grilled fruit is a delicious and simple treat that’s perfect for camping. The natural sweetness of the fruit is enhanced by the caramelization from the grill, and a drizzle of honey adds a delightful touch. Here’s a recipe to enjoy this easy and tasty dessert on your next camping trip.
Ingredients:
- 2 peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 plums, halved and pitted
- 2 nectarines, halved and pitted
- 1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into rings or wedges
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high. If using a campfire, let the fire burn down until you have hot coals with minimal flames.
- Prep the Fruit: While the grill is heating, prepare your fruit. Halve and pit the peaches, plums, and nectarines. Peel, core, and slice the pineapple into rings or wedges.
- Optional Coating: If desired, brush the fruit with melted butter or coconut oil. This can help prevent sticking and add a bit of richness.
- Grill the Fruit: Place the fruit on the grill. Grill each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the fruit is slightly softened. Be careful not to overcook; the fruit should still hold its shape.
- Add Honey: As the fruit grills, warm the honey slightly to make it easier to drizzle. You can do this by placing the honey container near the grill or in a warm spot.
- Serve: Remove the grilled fruit from the grill and place it on a serving plate. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon if using.
- Enjoy: Serve the grilled fruit warm. It’s delicious on its own, or you can pair it with yogurt, ice cream, or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
Tips:
- Mix and Match: Feel free to experiment with different fruits. Apples, pears, bananas, and figs are also great options for grilling.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the fruit ahead of time and store it in a cooler until you’re ready to grill.
- Foil Packets: For easy cleanup, you can also cook the fruit in foil packets. Simply place the fruit in a piece of foil, drizzle with honey, wrap it up, and place it on the grill.
