- Here's how to do it.
- Put pieces of fresh fruit on skewers.
- Use fruit that's just staring to soften, so that it stays firmly on the skewers.
- Sprinkle fruit with cinnamon or nutmeg.
- Place fruit on the grill for a minute to sear.
- Check the underside.
- Once it's golden with grill marks, turn it over to finish cooking.

I used this for a baby shower, and got a few compliments on it! I served it with grapes, blueberries, kiwis, apples, pineapple, and strawberries! It's a little bit tart, but goes nicely with sweet fruit. My children didn't care for the tartness of the dip, so maybe if some powdered sugar was added, it would be a little more kid-friendly!

<p>I'm a recently retired San Diego trial attorney and wanna-be professional chef-restauranteur. Why am I so passionate about cooking? I don't know. What I do know is that those who don't cook are missing out on one of life's truly enjoyable experiences! I have a collection of whimsical signs posted above my workbench at home, one of which states: Love people. Cook them tasty food. How true.</p>
