This recipe is an amazing dessert, and is amazingly simple to prepare.
Simply select fresh, firm fleshed fruit such as a pineapple, 2 pears, a nice firm mango, and a large handful of fresh grapes. Try to balance the colours of the fruits to make the dish more eye catching.
Get your barbecue plate nice and hot, then pour the fruit onto it and sprinkle with a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar. As the sugar melts from the heat and begins to caramelise, toss the fruit through it to help them release their juices, which will then combine to provide the gorgeous luscious flavours in this dish.
We don't want to cook the fruit through, as such, else you may end up with a pulpy mess - the goal is simply to have the fruits release some of their juice and warm through, then serve it in a nice dessert bowl with some
Calypso cream (Recipe follows) and a sprig of mint to garnish.
