Grilled fruit is a perfect summer treat to accompany any meal. Here, we take sweet and succulent honeydew, brush it with a sweet and spicy glaze, and grill it until it takes on a deep caramelized flavor from the grill. Finished with a sprinkle of chili powder, the sweet and savory flavors are too good to resist! Note: This recipe works best with a perfectly ripe and firm melon.
6-8
1
medium organic honeydew melon (4-5 pounds), cut into 2-inch cubes
1⁄4
cup
Natural Grocers® Brand Organic Apricot Preserves
1
teaspoon

1
tablespoon

1
tablespoon
finely chopped Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Crystallized Ginger

Organic lemon wedges, optional for serving

- Preheat the grill to medium-high (400-450˚ F).
- Thread the prepared honeydew onto metal or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for 20-30 minutes. Set aside while you make the glaze.
- Combine the apricot preserves, lemon zest, lemon juice, and ginger in a small bowl and stir until well combined.
- Using a pastry brush or a small spoon, spread the glaze evenly over the honeydew.
- Once the grill is hot, carefully grease it with olive oil using tongs and a paper towel. Grill for approximately 5 minutes per side, basting with any leftover glaze as they cook.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and sprinkle with desired amount of chili powder or optional preferred seasoning before serving.
