As we've been pretty much grilling several times a week this summer (as everyone should!) I decided to make these fruit packets to go with one of our meals. We loved them and Allison is still talking about them! So easy to put together and you can basically throw any fruits you like (or have on hand) in to it. Definitely making these again!
3 bananas, sliced 3/4-inch thick (I used peaches instead)
1 pound strawberries, stemmed and halved
3 oranges, peeled, cut into segments
1/2 pineapple, peeled, cored, cut into 1-inch chunks
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
16 whole cloves (I omitted)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup rum, optional (I omitted)
Lay out 8 12-by-12-inch pieces of heavy-duty foil on a counter top. Divide fruit evenly among foil pieces, placing it on bottom half of foil pieces. Mix sugar and cinnamon together. Put 2 cloves on each square and sprinkle with sugar mixture. Dot each with 1/2 Tbsp. butter and 1/2 Tbsp. rum, if desired. Fold top half of foil over fruit and roll edges to seal.
Preheat grill to low. Place packages on grill and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Carefully open packages, pour into bowls and serve with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
