Griddled Exotic Fruits with Maple and Lime

BBQ / Desserts / Sweet Treats / Vegetarian BBQ

Griddled exotic fruits with maple and lime in a bowl
Featuring Pure Maple Syrup
6-8 portions

Ingredients

  • 2 limes
  • 6 tbsp Pure Canadian maple syrup (preferably dark for its robust taste)
  • 1 watermelon, cut into wedges, skin on
  • 1 pineapple, cut into wedges lengthways, skin on
  • 4 peaches, halved and stones removed

Method

  1. Place the watermelon, pineapple and peaches into a large dish or tray.
  2. Finely grate the zest of one lime and combine with the maple syrup and the juice of the lime. Pour over the fruit and toss lightly to coat.
  3. Make sure the barbecue is hot with no trace of flame.
  4. Place the pineapple and watermelon slices onto the barbecue and sear for a few seconds on each side, turning with tongs. The aim is to mark the wedges with griddle lines, but not to cook the flesh, so the barbecue (or griddle pan) must be extremely hot.
  5. Remove the fruit slices from the barbecue and wrap in tin foil. Leave on the side of the barbecue for around 20 minutes.
  6. Whilst cooking, sear the peaches and add to the foil parcel for the final 8-10 minutes.
  7. Add the fruit to a platter or bowl and serve warm.

More about maple

The colour and flavour of maple syrup changes in subtle ways during the seasonal harvest

At the start of the sugaring season, the syrup is generally clear, with a light, sweet taste. It becomes darker with a caramelised flavour as the season progresses throughout the spring.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Maple spread doesn't contain any butter or dairy products

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple spread comes from the sap of the maple tree — that’s all.
