Ingredients:

1/2 cup salted butter or margarine (use a vegan butter to make it dairy free)

1/4 cup honey

3 fresh peaches, pitted and quartered

3 fresh plums, pitted and quartered

3 bananas, cut into 4 pieces each

12 strawberries, hulled

12 skewers

More fruit opinions: Mango, pineapple, pear

Directions:

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and place a large sheet of foil onto the grate.

Melt butter and honey together in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Reduce heat to low and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add a little vanilla if you like and stir into the mixture. Do not let the sauce boil.

Thread a peach quarter, a plum quarter, a banana piece, and a strawberry onto each skewer. Place the skewers onto the foil on the preheated grill; spoon honey mixture over each skewer.

Grill until the fruit is softened and the sauce has thickened and cooked onto the fruit, about 5 minutes.

Flip the skewers, spoon more butter-honey sauce over each, and grill for about 5 more minutes on the other side.

Tips:

Use the remaining honey mixture as a dip or as ice cream topping.
