Grilled Strawberries and Bananas with Ice Cream

2 tablespoons lime juice

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon canola oil

Pinch salt

Pinch cinnamon

1 pint strawberries, hulled and halved

1 banana, sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch rounds

1 pint vanilla ice cream

Whipped cream, to serve

Heat a grill to medium.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, canola oil, salt and cinnamon. Add the strawberries and bananas, then toss gently to coat. Thread the strawberries and bananas onto 5 skewers. Reserve any of the glaze remaining in the bowl.

Oil the grill grate. Grill the skewered fruit for 2 to 3 minutes, covered, or until there are light grill marks. Use a pastry brush to brush the tops of the skewered fruit with any remaining glaze, then turn and grill, covered, for another 2 to 3 minutes.

If the skewers stick to the grill, use a thin spatula to loosen before lifting.

Divide the ice cream between 4 bowls. Top with whipped cream. Remove the fruit from the skewers and use it to top each serving.

Serves four.
