Choose firm, chunky fruit that will hold together. Fruits such as pineapple, apple, and banana work well, and can be brushed with a mix of fruit juice, rum, and brown sugar so they caramelize on the grill.

They don’t need much cooking, and are best cooked on a clean barbecue, so they don’t pick up meat or fish flavors or bits. They can always be cooked first, and kept warm in the oven.
