Fruit kebabs with hot honey, mint and black pepper drizzle

About the recipe

Make this colourful fruit kebab recipe by Mr Cookfulness, Ian Taverner. With a hot honey, mint and black pepper drizzle, this is an easy dessert bursting with sweet, spicy and refreshing flavours. 

You can make each kebab different, swapping out the fruit as desired. Don't let the honey boil for more than two minutes as it can burn and spoil the taste.

These colourful fruit kebabs are a simple way to enjoy a variety of fruit in one delicious dessert. Different fruits provide a range of vitamins, minerals and fibre, while the drizzle adds plenty of flavour without needing lots of added sugar. They're a refreshing way to finish a meal and can help you work towards eating your five portions of fruit and vegetables each day.

Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need:

• 2 fresh kiwis, peeled and quartered.
• 6 fresh strawberries, tops removed and halved.
• 4-6 chunks of fresh pineapple.
• 2 fresh nectarines, quartered.

Method

1. Carefully thread the fruit onto your skewers, making sure each has a good mix of fruit.
2. On each skewer, add a fresh basic lead mid-way along the fruit line up.
3. Using a low-medium heat, pour honey into the saucepan and add the black pepper.
4. Once you see a few small bubbles, add the mint leaf pieces and then turn up the heat until it starts to bubble and go runny, but not thick.
5. Stir with a metal spoon and let it bubble 2 minutes before turning off the heat.
6. Drizzle the dressing all over the fruit kebabs and serve.
