Banana and Marshmallow melts with butterscotch sauce

  • Serves 4

  • Ingredients
  • 4 wooden skewers
  • 4 bananas
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 250g/8oz marshmallows

  • Sauce
  • 125g/4oz butter
  • 125g/4oz light muscovado sugar
  • 125g/4oz golden (light corn) syrup
  • 4 tablespoons hot water

  • Method
  • Soak the wooden skewers in hand hot water for 30 minutes
  • Slice the bananas into large chunks and dip them into the lemon juice to prevent them from going brown
  • Thread the marshmallows and pieces of banana chunks alternately on to kebab sticks or bamboo skewers, placing 2 marshmallows and 1 piece of banana onto each one

  • To make the sauce
  • Melt the butter, sugar and syrup together in a small saucepan
  • Add the hot water, stirring until blended and smooth - Do not boil or them mixture will become toffee-like
  • Keep the sauce warm at the edge or the barbecue - stirring from time to time

  • Sear the kebabs over the barbecue coals for 30-40 seconds, turning constantly, so that the marshmallows just begin to brown and melt
  • Serve the kebabs with some of the butterscotch sauce spooned over
