It is amazing what a few minutes over hot coals will do to the flavor
of fresh fruit. If you haven't tried it, you don't know what you're
missing.

Hot Fruit Salad

1 pineapple
2 bananas
3 plums
2 nectarines or peaches
1/2 cup (125 ml) honey
2 Tbs (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped fresh mint leaves

Cut the pineapple into 6 wedges, leaving the leaves intact. Peel the
bananas and cut into thirds. Cut the plums in half and the nectarines
into quarters, discarding pits. Combine the honey, lemon juice, and
half the chopped mint in a small bowl. Place the fruit pieces on the
grill over medium heat and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, turning
occasionally. Brush the fruit with the honey mixture during the last
3 minutes of cooking. Place the fruit on a serving platter, drizzle
with any remaining honey mixture, and garnish with the remaining
chopped mint. Serves 6 to 8.
