Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Banana (ripe but firm)
- 1 small Pineapple (peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 2 pieces Peach (ripe but firm)
- 3 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 10 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and slice the bananas into 1-inch thick pieces.
Cut the pineapple into bite-sized wedges or chunks.
Pit and slice the peaches into thick wedges.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and start bubbling slightly.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly into the melted butter and let it dissolve, stirring gently with a wooden spoon.
Add honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir well to combine, forming a smooth caramel sauce.
Carefully add the fruit to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3–4 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the fruits are coated in the caramel sauce and slightly softened. Avoid overcooking to maintain their texture.
Transfer the caramelized fruits to a serving platter, arranging them attractively. Drizzle any remaining caramel sauce from the skillet over the fruits.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor, if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a dessert or alongside vanilla ice cream.
