Ingredients

Pineapple, cubed

Apple, cubed
Pear, cubed
Melon, cubed
Strawberries, whole
Mango, cubed
Grapes, whole

For the marinade

75g (3oz) sugar
4 tbsp water
Liqueur (any)

Method

Thread alternative fruit pieces on to barbecue skewers - be sure to soak them first if they're made of wood.

In a medium pan gently heat the sugar and water until all the sugar has dissolved. Once it has thickened slightly into a syrup, allow to cool before adding the liqueur of your choice.

Brush the fruit with the marinade and leave to one side to allow the flavours to develop.

Fire up the barbie and brush the kebabs once again with the marinade before grilling, turning frequently, until the outside of the fruit begins to caramelise.
