Barbecuing

Cut fruits into slices or wedges, like the pineapple, pawpaw and mango shown here, or cut into chunks and thread on to oiled skewers to make kebabs. Some fruits, such as bananas, can be barbecued whole. Brush the barbecue grid with oil before putting on the fruit. You can also brush the fruit with flavourings such as lemon juice and honey, but use spices sparingly as they can easily scorch.

For a chargrilled effect, cook fruits directly on an oiled grid of the barbecue, turning once, 3-5 minutes.
