Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole pineapple
- 2 whole mango
- 3 whole peaches
- 2 whole bananas
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon dark rum (optional)
- 1 teaspoon jerk seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly brush the grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Prepare the pineapple by peeling, coring, and slicing it into 1/2-inch thick rings.
Peel the mangoes and cut them into thick slices, avoiding the pit.
Halve and pit the peaches, leaving the skin on for added texture and flavor.
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, dark rum (if using), jerk seasoning, and ground cinnamon to create the jerk glaze.
Brush the jerk glaze generously onto all sides of the prepared fruit slices.
Place the fruit on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the fruit is slightly caramelized. Remove from the grill and set aside to cool slightly.
Arrange the grilled fruit on a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with freshly chopped mint leaves for a burst of freshness.
Serve the Whine Jerk Grilled Fruit Salad warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as is, or pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
