1 fresh pineapple, peeled and cored


1 cup chopped fresh cilantro


1 cup tequila


1 1/2 tablespoons ground chipotle chiles


1 lemon


1 lime


salt and pepper to taste





Directions:


1. Cut the pineapple lengthwise into 8 wedges.


Place the wedges into a sealable plastic container or


sealable plastic bag.


In a small bowl, stir together the cilantro,


tequila and chipotle.


Pour into the container with the pineapple.


Cut lemon and lime in half, squeeze out some


juice and put the juice and fruit into the container.


Season with salt and pepper.


Marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour, turning


pineapple once.





2. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.


When the coals are hot, brush a light coating of oil on the

If you like you can make a sauce by cooking the marinade

Mixed Grilled Fruits with Cr猫me Anglaise





Peaches, pears, plums and nectarines are good candidates for grilling over a charcoal fire. After the fruits are brushed with melted butter and then grilled for a few minutes, the natural sugars begin to caramelize from the heat. A spoonful or two of cr猫me anglaise completes the dish. You can also serve the grilled fruits with vanilla ice cream or on their own, without any adornment.








For the cr猫me anglaise:


2 cups milk


1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise


2 eggs


2 egg yolks


1/4 cup sugar


1/8 tsp. salt





For the fruit:


2 peaches


2 plums


2 nectarines


2 pears


4 Tbs. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted











To make the cr猫me anglaise, pour the milk into a nonreactive bowl and place over but not touching simmering water in a saucepan. Add the vanilla bean. Warm until small bubbles appear along the edges of the bowl. Meanwhile, in another bowl, using a fork, beat together the eggs and egg yolks until slightly blended, then beat in the sugar and salt. Slowly stir in the hot milk and vanilla bean.





Return the mixture to the nonreactive bowl and place over but not touching gently boiling water in the pan. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until a thick custard forms and leaves a clear path when a finger is drawn through it, 7 to 10 minutes.





Remove the pan from the heat, remove and discard the vanilla bean and keep the custard hot over the hot water in the pan. Alternatively, let the custard cool to room temperature, cover with plastic wrap placed directly on the surface and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours. The custard will thicken upon cooling and chilling. You should have about 2 1/4 cups custard.





Prepare a medium-hot fire in a grill.





To prepare the fruit, cut the peaches, plums, nectarines and pears in half through their stem ends. Cut away the core from the pears and discard the pits from the other fruits. Place the fruits in a grill basket and brush generously on all sides with the melted butter.





Place the basket on the grill rack. Cook, turning once, until the fruits begin to soften and then brown, 3 to 4 minutes on the first side and slightly less on the other side. Transfer the fruits to a serving bowl or platter and serve with the cr猫me anglaise on the side. Serves 6 to 8.

Damn, was beaten to it with the banana n chocolate one :( never mind, my mouth's watering just at the thought
I like BBQ mango. I just stick it straight on the griddle without flames and cook it until it looks chargrilled. Kids'll like it as well.





Oh yeah... you've got to cut it into portions first... and cook it on the fleshy side.





Hey... I'm no masterchef!
Peaches





Place canned peach slices (no juice) in aluminum foil. Add one or two large marshmallows. Wrap aluminum foil up. Grill for 3-5 minutes and check. You want the marshmallow to be slightly melted (not all the way melted). Yummy!
peaches, apples, there nice.
Beaten to it on the choc bananas but another one is as follows.Wrap a strawberry covered in brown sugar and a drop of cointreau in tin foil and give it about 10 mins on cooling bbq.Enjoy
grilled slices of watermelon sprinkled with pepper is a good and easy grilled fruit. You only have to grill them about 1-2 minutes on each side.
I think the easiest thing to grill is pineapple rings. Just sprinkle on some brown sugar, and put over medium/medium-hot coals until the sugar carmalizes. You'll definetly want to spray your grates with some Pam or (better yet) baker's release spray though.
How about banana and marshmallow kebabs, just grill lightly at the end of the BBQ and the marshmallows will melt.
grill some peeled peaches, drizzled with really lite flavored olive oil, grill only for a minute or two on a medium grill (stand right over it, fruit sugar burn really fast!)...slice and dip in poppyseed dressing...yum yum! Simple, delish and definitely different from everyday...
