Ingredients: (makes 5 skewers)

• 1 pineapple, chopped (see below)
• 1 mango, chopped (see below)
• 1 passion fruit, to garnish (optional)
• 5 wooden skewers

For the syrup:

• A few mint leaves, finely chopped
• 3 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tbsp agave nectar (if you do not have this, then you can just use 1 tbsp of normal sugar or honey)
• A small piece of fresh ginger, grated

Method:

1. To cut the pineapple,I find the best way is to firstly cut the green top off the pineapple, using a sharp knife.
2. Then cut down the sides of the pineapple, removing the ‘skin’.
3. If you see any brown circles still left into the pineapple flesh, remove these with a smaller knife.
4. There is a core in the middle of the pineapple, so you need to cut around this core. Discard the core.
5. Cut the remaining pineapple into chunks.
6. I find the best way to peel the mango, is to use a regular peeler.
7. The mango has a middle stone, so cut around this stone, using a small knife and cut the mango into cubes.
8. Get the skewers, and thread alternating pineapple and mango onto the skewers, watching out for your fingers.
9. Now make the syrup. Just add all the syrup ingredients together in a pan and heat up until warm.
10. Drizzle the syrup over the fruit.
11. Garnish with the passion fruit and mint leaves.
12. I think these taste better chilled, so you can put them into the fridge or eat them straight away.

If you wanted to make this into a warm dessert, then pre soak the skewers for a few hours before use, then when the fruit is on the skewers, grill the fruit on a griddle pan until charred. Then eat warm with ice cream.You could also drizzle the fruit with a rum such as Malibu. If you are feeling adventurous you could also add red chilli to the mix.

Enjoy!
