🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Wash all fruits thoroughly and pat them dry. This step prevents sogginess later on!
- Cut your fruit into roughly 1-inch chunks. Make sure the sizes are uniform or close to it for even cooking.
- If desired, prepare a simple glaze. A quick one I like is 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and a dash of cinnamon. Mix it in the bowl.
- Assemble your kabobs by alternating different fruits. Think about color and texture balance – it's as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate. Don't overfill the skewers.
- If using the glaze, toss the assembled kabobs gently to coat them evenly. This adds flavor and prevents sticking.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat. Proper preheating helps avoid sticking and produces even grill marks. You could also use a broiler, but grilling is the way to go for that smoky flavor.
- Place the kabobs on the grill grates. You'll probably need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding, making sure there's space for even heat distribution.
- Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the fruit is tender but not mushy. Keep a close eye to prevent burning!
- Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving. I like to garnish mine with a sprinkle of fresh mint before serving.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing fruit kabobs! They're amazing on their own, but a dollop of vanilla yogurt or ice cream is a great addition too! Mmm!
📝 Notes
- Adjust sweetness according to your taste! Some fruits are naturally sweeter.
- If you're not grilling, you can skip the glaze completely, although it does add flavor and visual appeal!
- For a fun twist, try adding a tiny dab of chocolate to some of the fruit chunks before assembling.
