After being on the heat, the fruit caramelizes and becomes even sweeter. Don&#8217;t have an outside grill? Don&#8217;t worry, a grill pan works great too. Fruit is so versatile in its grilling variations, it is fun to experiment and give different versions a try.<\/p>\n<p>For this recipe, we have soaked watermelon, honeydew melon, cantaloupe, pineapple, and strawberries in coconut water to enhance the sweetness of the fruit. Once grilled, we sprinkled them with a little toasted coconut for the best-grilled fruit skewers. With a little creativity most any fruit can be grilled, but there are a few tips to know.<\/p>\n<h3>Tips for Grilling Fruit<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure the grill is completely clean before grilling.<\/li>\n<li>When grilling fruit, it isn&#8217;t necessary to oil your fruit unless you intend it for a savory dish. It&#8217;s best to spray the grill or foil that the fruit will be cooked on.<\/li>\n<li>Use a neutral or mild oil or cooking spray, like coconut oil, avocado oil, or safflower oil.<\/li>\n<li>Coconut oil is great for medium-low to medium heat.<\/li>\n<li>Avocado and safflower oils are good for medium-high heat.<\/li>\n<li>The fruit should be firm and not overripe.<\/li>\n<li>Fruit, like melon, strawberries, and apples, are best grilled at medium to medium-low heat<\/li>\n<li>Citrus, pineapple, and stone fruits should be grilled at medium to medium-high heat.<\/li>\n<li>Depending on the fruit, it can be placed directly on the grill, cooked on aluminum foil, or placed on skewers to grill.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Ingredients<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>12 cubes seedless watermelon, cut into 1 1\/2 inch cubes<\/li>\n<li>12 cubes honeydew melon, cut into 1 1\/2 inch cubes<\/li>\n<li>12 cubes cantaloupe, cut into 1 1\/2 inch cubes<\/li>\n<li>12 cubes pineapple, cut into 1 1\/2 inch cubes<\/li>\n<li>12 strawberries, about 1 1\/2 inches each<\/li>\n<li>2 bottles coconut water (33.8 oz each); enough to cover the fruit<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut<\/li>\n<li>6 &#8211; 8 wooden skewers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Instructions<\/h3>\n<p>1. Soak fruit in a bowl of coconut water for about 10 minutes. Coconut water should just cover the fruit. The fruit will float a little. Soak wooden skewers in tap water for about 10 minutes to prevent burning.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n2. Toast coconut in a pan over medium-low heat for 3 to 5 minutes until it\u2019s lightly toasted. Remove from heat and set aside.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n3. Thread an assortment of fruit on skewers.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n4. Heat the grill pan on medium heat on your stove or set your grill pan on your outdoor grill for more of a smoky flavor. Let it preheat for about 5 minutes. Then spray with coconut cooking spray.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n5. Set the skewers on the grill pan. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on two sides.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n6. Remove the skewers from the grill and place them onto a serving tray. Sprinkle with toasted coconut.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n7.
