Grilled Banana and Pineapple Fruitsticks

2Bleu's Note:

This is a great ending to a backyard BBQ.

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 8 Fruitst ...

• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 bananas, slightly underipe, peeled, and cut in half
• 4 pineapple, spears
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon coconut rum
• 8 skewers, wooden work best
• salt, for garnish if desired

Directions:

1. Using 8 sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil, coat with butter (or use non-stick cooking spray) on one side, just in the center leaving about 2" around the edges.
2. Using the skewers, place one up-inside each fruit longways (like a corndog) just to the tip of the skewer. Set aside.
3. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, lemon juice, and rum. Brush each fruitstick with the mixture. Place onto the sheet of foil.
4. Stick the bottom end of the skewer through the foil about midway. Fold over the fruit longways and carefully fold or twist the ends to seal, being careful not to tear or make the hole from the skewer bigger (you can pull the foil down a bit and twist around the bottom of the fruit also).
5. Place on the grill for about 10-15 minutes. Carefully peel back foil, sprinkle (pineapples only) with some salt if desired, and enjoy. enjoy.

This is fantastic! Everyone loved it. This would make a nice topping for ice cream, too. Made for PRMR tag.

What a nice flavour this is! The pineapple especially is just delicious and this was very easy to make. Personally, I wouldn't make the bananas again because they completely fell apart! :( I will make the pineapple again! Made for PRMR. Thanks! :)

Terrific recipe! The glaze is amazing - would probably make a great fruit salad dressing too - and it was perfect warmed up and melting over the fruit. Thanks for sharing this great grill recipe!
