Grilling Tips with Wiggidy: Grilling Fruits Like a Pro
Fruit on the grill? Oh yeah — it’s a thing. And if you haven’t tried it yet, you’re seriously missing out on one of BBQ’s best-kept secrets.
At Wiggidy Wayne Sauces, we’re all about bold flavor and creative cooking. And grilling fruit adds a sweet, smoky punch to your barbecue lineup that’ll have your guests going back for seconds (and thirds). Whether you’re firing up pineapple slices or peach halves, these simple tips will help you nail it every time.
⸻
🍍 1. Brush with Oil
Before tossing those fruits on the grill, give them a quick brush with oil — we’re talkin’ something light like avocado or vegetable oil. This keeps the fruit from sticking and helps those grill marks pop. It also adds a nice sheen that makes your fruit look just as good as it tastes.

🔥 2. Grill at Low Heat
Fruits are delicate. Crank the heat too high and they’ll go from caramelized to charred real quick. Instead, use low, indirect heat and take your time. You’re not trying to rush this — let the natural sugars work their magic.
Pro Tip: Use a grill pan or skewers for smaller or softer fruits like berries or melon chunks.

🌶 3. Add Some Spice
Want to take things up a notch? Sprinkle your fruits with spices like:
• Cinnamon for warmth
• Nutmeg for richness
• Cardamom for that exotic twist
You can even brush grilled fruits with a touch of Wiggidy Wayne’s Carolina Bold BBQ Sauce for a sweet-and-savory glaze that’s out of this world.

🔗 Put It All Together
Grilled fruit is great on its own, but even better when paired with BBQ. Try these ideas:
• Pineapple slices stacked on pulled pork sandwiches
• Grilled peaches served with smoked ribs and a drizzle of honey
• Bananas grilled and topped with ice cream and a spicy caramel drizzle
However you serve it, grilled fruit brings a fresh twist that balances the smoky, savory flavors of your cookout.
