Mixed Berry Hobo Packs with Grilled Pound Cake

By cindyandmojo

Berries grilled in a foil pack are delicious with everything from ice cream to grilled pound cake.

Ingredients

• 1 pound(s) (3 cups) mixed strawberries and blueberries, strawberries halved or quartered if large
• 1 teaspoon(s) finely grated lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon(s) lemon juice
• 1/4 cup(s) sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon(s) cornstarch
• 2 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter, softened
• 4 12-inch squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil
• 4 (1/2-inch-thick) slices of pound cake
• Crème fraîche or vanilla ice cream, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Light a grill. In a medium bowl, combine the strawberries and blueberries with the lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch. Spoon 1/4 tablespoon of the butter in the center of each sheet of foil and top with the fruit. Bring 2 sides of the foil up over the fruit and fold to form a seam across the top. Fold the remaining 2 sides to seal the hobo packs completely.

Grill the hobo packs over moderate heat until the fruit is sizzling, about 10 minutes.

Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter on the pound cake and grill on both sides just until toasted, about 1 minute. Transfer to plates. Open the hobo packs and pour the berries and juices over the pound cake. Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche or ice cream.
