Saw this is my new Women's World mag., and here is the accompanying quote, "For the perfect pick-me-up on a hot summer day, try these slightly smoky fruit skewers kicked up with lime, chili powder and a bit of coarse sea salt." Also good for camping trips*!!
(serves 6-8)
1/2 of a 5-6 lb. seedless watermelon
1 pineapple
2 mangoes
Grated zest and juice of 1 lime
Veg. oil
2 t. chili powder
1 t. coarse sea or kosher* salt, plus more for serving
Lime wedges
18 skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 20 mins. so they won't burn*)
Remove the rind of the watermelon, peel of pineapple and peels and pits of mangoes and discard. Split pineapple in quarters lengthwise; cut out and discard core. Cut all fruit into 1" cubes; thread onto skewers. Put skewers in a large zip-lock bag, being careful to not puncture bag. Add lime juice; toss gently to incorporate. Seal bag; refrigerate at least 30 mins. or until ready to use (you could proceed this far for camping, and put the bag in your cooler*). Preheat grill or grill pan to med.-high heat. Remove skewers from bag; place on baking sheet. Brush fruit with oil. Put skewers on grill. Grill fruit on both sides until grill marks appear and it begins to caramelize, 6-8 mins. total. transfer to a serving platter. In a small bowl, combine lime zest, chili powder, and salt. Sprinkle seasoning over fruit. Serve with lime wedges and additional salt.
