A light and delicious snack perfect for our grilled fruit kebobs in our archives

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/3 cup sugar
• ¼ cup water
• 3 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam

Directions:

In a medium saucepan with the heat off, whisk together cornstarch, cocoa powder and sugar. Gradually whisk in water and jam. Turn on medium heat. Bring sauce to a simmer, whisking constantly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.

Fruit kebabs are fun, easy, very pretty and good for you! Eat these plain, top with a little light whipped cream, or pair them with this light chocolate raspberry sauce. Look for fruit that is ripe, yet still slightly firm – it will hold up better on the grill.

Ingredients:

• ½ fresh pineapple, cubed
• 3 or 4 nectarines, pitted and cubed
• 3 or 4 black or red plums, pitted and cubed
• 3 or 4 peaches, pitted and cubed
• 3 or 4 pears, cubed
• 3 or 4 apricots, pitted and cubed
• 12 to 15 fresh strawberries, stemmed
• 2 or 3 large oranges, segmented

Directions:

Alternating different fruits, thread cubes onto skewers. Baste very lightly with melted butter, or spray fruit with non-stick cooking spray. On a medium-heat grill, place the skewers with a little space in between each one. Turn fruit as it’s cooking, about 10 minutes or until there are visible grill marks on the fruit.
