Grilled Fruit with Lemon Zabaglione

• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar or maple syrup
• Juice of 2 oranges
• 2 nectarines or peaches, halved and pitted
• 3 plums, halved and pitted
• 2 bananas, halved lengthwise
• 1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into chunks
• Lemon zabaglione (recipe follows)
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
• 2 large eggs
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1/2 cup sugar
• Grated zest of 2 lemons
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1/3 cup Muscat or other dessert wine
• (makes about 6 cups)

1. Prepare a medium-hot fire (425 to 450F) in a wood-fired grill.
2. Stir the sugar into the orange juice until dissolved.
3. Brush the cut fruit with the sugar mixture.
4. Grill the fruit, cut side down, for about 5 minutes, or until the fruit is slightly soft and well marked.
5. Move to indirect heat and continue to cook to the desired softness.
6. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
7. Slice the fruit and keep each kind in a separate bowl.
8. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow flavors to mix.
9. Portion an assortment of the fruits into 6 bowls.
10. Top with the zabaglione and garnish with mint leaves.
11. Combine all the ingredients in a stainless steel bowl and set aside.
12. Choose a saucepan large enough to set the bowl over and fill it with 2 inches of water.
13. Bring to a simmer.
14. Whisk the egg mixture in the bowl.
15. Place the bowl over the simmering water and whisk vigorously until it is about triple in volume and thick and frothy.
16. Lift the bowl off the steam a few times, while whisking, to insure that the mixture does not get too hot and scramble the eggs.
17. The total cooking time will be about 8 minutes.
18. Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk to cool slightly.
19. Serve now, or cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface and use within 2 hours.
20. It may need to be whisked again just before serving.
