Grilled Summer Fruit With Sweet Yogurt Dip Recipes

GRILLED FRUIT SKEWERS WITH SWEET YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
• In a small pot combine the brown sugar with 1/4 cup water, cinnamon and orange zest. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Preheat the grill or grill pan over low heat.
• Thread 2 pieces of each type of fruit onto each skewer. Grill the skewers until the fruit is warm and lightly charred about 6 minutes giving the skewers a quarter turn every 1 1/2 minutes. Make sure to brush with the brown sugar syrup after each turn.
• While the fruit is grilling, make the dipping sauce. Whisk together the yogurt, orange juice, and 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar syrup in a serving bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons for the Online Round 2 recipe Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wraps.
• Arrange the skewers on a serving platter and serve with the dipping sauce on the side.

GRILLED SUMMER FRUIT

Steps:

• Spray the grill rack with nonstick spray and prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Thread 1 piece of each fruit on each of 6 skewers so that the cut sides line up and lay flat. Sprinkle the sugar over the cut sides of the fruit. Let stand until the sugar dissolves, about 10 minutes.
• Place the fruit skewers on the grill cut side down. Grill the fruit until it is heated through and caramelized, about 5 minutes. Transfer 1 fruit skewer to each plate and serve.
• *Other fruit substitutions can be apricots and peaches.
