What’s for pudding? Let’s have something different this week which everyone will enjoy. Making this small change to the weekly menu brightens up the daily eating pattern particularly if anyone in the house is doing exams and bored with the tedium of revision. When they are having a break, make them thread the fruit on the skewer and chat about physics, chemistry, german, history, etc. and who knows they may do some more study!

Spicy Fruit Kebabs

Serves four people (or more depending on the quantity of fruit selected)

Figs

(quartered)

Pineapple

(tinned in juice) or fresh

Strawberries

(halved)

Kiwifruit

(quartered)

Dark grapes

 

Two oranges

(zest of one/juice of two)

Cinnamon

 

3 tablespoons of manuka honey

Method
Thread fruits onto 4 metal skewers, mixing the colours as desired. A child could choose the fruit order and put on the skewers with adult supervision. You could use wooden skewers that have been pre soaked for a few hours. Mix together the zest of one orange with the juice of two oranges, a pinch of cinnamon and 3 tablespoons of manuka honey. Drizzle over the kebabs and place under a hot grill for about five minutes, turning occasionally so they brown but don’t burn.
Serve with low fat yogurt.

This is such a fun combination and can be easily extended
for more mouths! It can easily be cooked outside with younger children
watching or even cooking under supervision!
