Grilled Fruit Packets Recipe

ingredients

6 small baby bananas, peeled and halved
1/2 pineapple, peeled, cored, sliced, and cut into chunks
1 mango, peeled, pitted and cut into long wedges
1/4 cup shelled, toasted pistachio nuts
3 vanilla beans, split and halved
6 cinnamon sticks
6 teaspoons brown sugar
6 teaspoons unsalted butter, room temperature
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
ice cream or sorbet, in flavor of your choice, for topping
dark rum (optional)

directions

Lay out foil rectangles (8 x 12 inch size) and arrange in the center of each square 2 banana halves, 4 or 5 five chunks of pineapple, and 1 mango wedge.

Add 1 tablespoon nuts, 1/2 vanilla bean, and 1 cinnamon stick. Top with 1 teaspoon each sugar and butter, finishing each with a grind of black pepper.

Bring two longer sides of foil together and make two or three tight folds over, about half an inch each. Roll up shorter sides to form a tight package around fruit.

Place packets on grill grate and let roast for 10 minutes. Allow packages to cool slightly.

Transfer to a bowl or plate and top with a scoop of ice cream or sorbet. Drizzle with dark rum if desired.
