Ingredients

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 1 tsp honey

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon, or 1/4 tsp ground ginger

  • 1/2 pineapple

  • 1 mango

  • 2 to 3 bananas

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, or 1/4 tsp ground ginger

  • 2 cups strawberries, optional

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, stir sour cream with vanilla, honey and cinnamon. Taste, then add more cinnamon, if needed. If making ahead, cover and refrigerate.

  • Lightly oil grill and heat barbecue to medium-high. Cut off pineapple top. Slice off skin, then cut away dark eyes. Slice in half lengthwise. Remove core, then slice each pineapple half into 1/2-inch- (1-cm-) thick pieces. Peel mango. Slice pulp from pit in large thick pieces. Peel bananas. In a small bowl, stir butter with cinnamon. Brush evenly over cut fruit, but not berries.

  • Grill pineapple and mango, turning occasionally, until grill marks form and fruit is hot, 6 to 8 minutes. Bananas will cook quickly so add for last 1 to 2 minutes of grilling. Remove pieces as they are done to a cutting board. Cut into small chunks and arrange on a platter. Add strawberries. Serve with cinnamon cream for dipping or drizzle over fruit. Great warm or at room temperature.

A warm fruit salad is an irresistible way to finish up a barbecue dinner. Grilling heightens the fruits' natural sweetness and adds a layer of caramelized flavour. We've teamed it with an easy-to-make creamy dip, but it's also yummy served over vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.
