Ingredients
- 2 to 3½- to ¾-inch slices fresh pineapple*
- 1large peach, pitted and quartered
- 1mango, peeled, pitted and cut into 4 pieces
- water (enough to cover the fruit)
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1banana, halved and then cut into 4 pieces total
- 2tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- pinch ground cinnamon
Preparation
- 1.Put the fruit, except for the banana, into a large mixing bowl. Add enough water to the bowl to fully cover the fruit. Stir in the lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes.
- 2.While the fruit is chilling, prepare the cinnamon butter. Stir the butter and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Reserve.
- 3.Ten minutes before the fruit has completed soaking, preheat the Cuisinart® Compact Grill Centro, fitted with the Grill plate, to High.
- 4.Remove the fruit from the lemon water and pat dry. Brush both sides of the fruit, now including the banana, with the cinnamon butter.
- 5.The peach should take about 2½ to 3½ minutes per side to grill. The pineapple and mango should take about 2½ minutes per side. The banana only take about 1 to 1½ minutes. When grilling the fruit, carefully flip half-way through cooking, As always with fruit, cooking times vary depending on the ripeness of the fruit.
- *Many grocery stores sell peeled and cored pineapples in the produce section.
