Try These Fruit Grilling Ideas

Grilling can make your favorite fruit tastier, especially when it’s fresh, ripe, and firm. However, you should note that some fruits grill better than others. Some great choices include pineapples, bourbon peach, blueberries, apricots, and plums. Let’s take a look at some grilled fruit recipes for the first three fruits mentioned.

  1. Pineapple teriyaki sliders
  2. Blueberry dump cake
  3. grilled pork tenderloin w/bourbon peach BBQ sauce

1) Pineapple Teriyaki Sliders

While the smoky scent of beef and bacon in this burger is enticing, the grilled pineapple makes it sweeter.

Ingredients

  • 4-8 slices of cooked bacon
  • 2 pounds medium ground beef
  • 8 COBS Gourmet slider buns
  • ¼ cup Club House La Grille 30 Minute Teriyaki Marinade and a ¼ cup for basting
  • Extra old/sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

  • In a large bowl, mix Steakhouse Onion Burger Seasoning, Teriyaki Marinade, and ground beef by hand. Place patties that are a bit larger than slider buns onto a sheet of waxed paper. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes
  • As the slider patties chill in the fridge, make the pickled onion. Use this recipe to prepare quick pickled onions.
  • Preheat your grill to 450°F, and place the bacon on a foil-lined tray and onto the grill as it preheats.
  • Once the temperature has risen, grill the slider patties and pineapple over direct heat. Baste the patties using teriyaki marinade and flip the sliders and pineapples after forming grill marks.
  • Place the cut sides of COBS Bread Gourmet Slider Buns onto the Warming Rack Baking Stone to toast.
  • Grill the sliders up to an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove everything on the grill and top the sliders with cheddar while preparing the pineapple sauce
  • Cut the pineapple into pieces then remove the core portion. Mince the pineapple cuts, leaving a few pieces for garnish. Stir the fruit in the sour cream.
  • Assemble the burgers with the sauce on the bottom bun. Top it with a patty, then with pickled onion and some sauce on top. Garnish it with a pineapple piece on a toothpick through the bun’s top.

2) Blueberry Dump Cake

Blueberry dump cake can be a great dessert for everyone. Thankfully, it’s easy to prepare and cook in no time.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 4 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 package yellow cake mix

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F
  • Mix sugar, berries, and cinnamon at the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan. Then, cover the berries with dry cake mix. Pour melted butter over the cake mix, but don’t stir.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until it turns light brown. You can serve warm or cold and even top with ice cream.

  • Mix peach preserves, bourbon ketchup, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of OLD BAY in a small bowl to form a barbecue sauce
