Five-minute blackcurrant for the winter

Choose a fruit. As you can see in the list above, there are many recommended fruits. It also provides some tips on which fruits to avoid. In general, it is best to avoid fruits with a high water content (such as some berries) or tender fruits, however almost any other variety of fruit can be roasted with the right care or wrapped in foil. And although watermelon, for example, contains a lot of water, it roasts surprisingly well when cut into thick pieces.

Prepare the selected fruits. Wash, peel and remove any hard or inedible parts of the fruit. Generally, the parts you need to remove are the skin, pith, loose flesh, rind, or any seeds or pits, but it's best to be guided by the variety of fruit you choose.

Cut the fruit into pieces no thicker than 1 centimeter. You can cut them into any shape you want, but aim to stick to a width of 1 centimeter in thickness and cut all pieces the same size to ensure equal cooking times for all fruits. Fruit cut into thinner pieces cooks evenly and quickly without falling apart.

• Stone fruits such as peaches can actually be cooked in halves.
• You can cook pineapples in large slices, but on a much lower heat. Such fruits are easier to cut into large pieces.
• Apples are recommended to soak for 15 minutes in water before cooking. This prevents the fruit from burning. Try to keep their shape so they don't fall through the crevices of the grill grate, or place them on a skewer the same way you string a kebab. Don't squeeze them all at once onto the skewer - just space them evenly along the skewer.
• If you're grilling fruit on skewers, try making fruit kebabs with a variety of fruit pieces, such as pineapple, banana, melon, kiwi, strawberries, and grapes, for a change. For extra sweetness, marshmallow soufflé can also be placed on top of the kebab so that it melts and drips onto the fruit pieces after cooking. .
• Brushing vegetable oil on top of the grilled fruit pieces will help keep them from sticking to the grill pan.
