INGREDIENTS
Pineapple
Peaches
Strawberries
Kiwi fruit
Plums
Other plum varieties
Banana
Apricots
Brown sugar
Crisp wafer
Vanilla ice cream
Wooden skewers
Kitchen blowtorch for caramelising
I wash my chosen fruit; use whichever fruit you prefer.

I peel the fruit, leaving the skins on the plums, other plum varieties and apricots, and cut it into fairly large pieces.


I thread the fruit onto the skewers, alternating colours for an attractive appearance.

I put the brown sugar on a plate.

I lay the skewers on it and sprinkle with sugar, making sure it sticks well.

I light the blowtorch and pass it over each skewer repeatedly, turning it on all sides until it starts to caramelise.


I put a skewer on a large plate. Get some crisp wafers and good artisan vanilla ice cream, or make your own.
Fill a wafer with ice cream and put it alongside. I added a small glass of limoncello.
An excellent end to a meal or a tasty snack, and a way to encourage children to eat fruit, without the limoncello, of course!
