Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh ginger (don't bother to peel it)
2 large or 3 medium bananas, not overly ripe
1/2 pineapple
2 large peaches

Steps:

  • Start a grill; the fire should be quite hot and the rack positioned 4 to 6 inches from the heat source. Combine the sugar, ginger, and 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit while you prepare the fruit.
  • Do not peel the bananas; cut them into 2-inch-long chunks and make a shallow vertical slit in the skin to facilitate peeling at the table. Peel and core the pineapple, then cut it into 2-inch chunks. Pit the peaches and cut them into large chunks.
  • Skewer the fruit. Strain the syrup and brush the fruit lightly with it. Grill the fruit until the pineapple is nicely browned, 2 to 4 minutes per side. As it is grilling, brush occasionally with the syrup.
  • When the fruit is done, brush once more with syrup; serve hot or warm.
