Spiced Banana Chocolate Sundaes
by:
The key to grilling fruit is picking ones that are ripe but not mushy. You dont want them to collapse and slip through the grate. To be absolutely sure a banana will hold together, cut it in half lengthwise [with the skin still on]. Brush the cut sides with melted butter and spices and grill the banana cut side down. Once it is warm and soft, slip off the peel.
