TROPICAL KEBABS

3 of each peaches, apples, bananas, oranges (use fruit that is just under-ripe)
A few tablespoons lemon juice
75 g (3 oz) glacé cherries
A little cranberry jelly
Schwartz Mixed Spice for sprinkling

Remove the stones from the peaches and core the apples. Cut each fruit into eight pieces. Place in bowl with a little lemon juice and stir so that each piece of fruit is covered to prevent browning. Peel the bananas and cut into 2.5cm (1-inch) slices.

Thread the fruits alternately onto four kebab skewers, placing a glace cherry at intervals as desired. Brush the fruits all over with the cranberry jelly and sprinkle with Mixed Spice.

Place carefully on a hot barbecue turning and brushing the kebabs frequently with the cranberry jelly and sprinkling with Mixed Spice as necessary.

Cook for just long enough to warm the fruits. Serve as an accompaniment with all barbecued meals or as a sweet course.
