Fruit Kebabs
1 orange
1 eating apple
1 banana
Lemon juice
2oz/50g white grapes
2oz/50g black grapes
1 hard pear
Cut the peel and pith from the orange and cut the flesh into 1/2/1.25cm
slices. Cut each slice in half. Don't cut the flesh from the segment skins as you would
for a fruit salad, as this makes the fruit too soft to skewer and it tends to fall into
the fire during cooking. Rinse the apple and peel it if you like, otherwise just remove
the core. Peel the banana and cut it into 1in/ 2.5cm chunks. Toss the apple and banana
pieces in the lemon juice to prevent them turning brown. Wash the grapes and if you wish,
remove the pips by squeezing each grape gently so that the pips appear in the tiny hole
left by removing the stalks. Try to keep the grapes whole. Rinse the pear and cut it into
quarters, peeling it only if you think it really necessary. Remove the core.
Thread the fruit on to 4 skewers, alternating the different varieties. Lay the skewers on
a hot barbecue for about 10 minutes, turning them frequently so that the apple and pear
pieces singe very lightly. It is not essential for the fruit to cook right through as a
little 'bite' of raw fruit in the centre makes a good contrast to the soft fruit outside.
Try other fruit, such as fresh dates or fresh pineapple, in this recipe to ring the
changes Avoid very soft fruit, such as strawberries, which are difficult to skewer. Serve
the kebabs with a dip of lemon juice and brown sugar if wished.
SUMMER THEATRE CHAPTER TWO by Neil Simon
Wednesday 29th June - Saturday 9th July
George Schneider has recently been widowed from the wife he swore to love forever. Jennie
Malone has just been divorced from the husband she swore to leave forever. Each of them is
now alone living on opposite sides of Manhattan in New York. That is until Leo,
George’s brother, arranges a blind date for the two of them. What follows is by turns
uncomfortable, sad, romantic, painful, emotionally raw and very, very funny. A huge
success on Broadway for one of America’s premier playwrights and screenwriters who
has given us such gems as The Odd Couple, Barefoot In The Park, Sweet Charity, Plaza
Suite, The Sunshine Boys and the Oscar-winning The Goodbye Girl
