Vanilla and cinnamon add sweetness while ginger and red pepper bring a surprise heat to these grilled tropical fruit skewers. Make sure bananas are firm and ripe for this spicy, jazzed up, special dessert.

Makes 6 servings.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Cinnamon, Ground
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Ginger, Ground
1/8 teaspoon McCormick® Red Pepper, Ground(optional)
1/4 cup rum
2 teaspoons McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
6 pieces fresh papaya (2x1-inch)
6 pieces fresh pineapple (2x1-inch)
2 ripe bananas, peeled, cut into 6 pieces
2 kiwis, peeled, cut into 6 pieces
2 star fruit, cut into 6 pieces

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix brown sugar and spices in small bowl. Stir in rum and vanilla until sugar is dissolved. Alternately thread fruit on double skewers. Brush with spice mixture. Let stand 5 minutes.

2. Grill over medium heat 10 minutes or until lightly browned, turning occasionally and basting with spice mixture.

Tips

Test Kitchen Tips: 

  • Use 1/4 cup pineapple juice and 1 teaspoon McCormick® Imitation Rum Extract in place of the rum.

 

  • If using wooden skewers, soak thoroughly in water at least 30 minutes.  To prevent pieces of fruit from spinning around when turning kabobs, thread fruit onto two parallel skewers for each kabob.
