TIPS FOR GRILLING FRUIT KABOBS
- Before grilling, you should do some things to make sure your kabobs turn out great. Put the wooden or bamboo skewers in water for 20 minutes before you use them. This will keep them from getting burned when you put them on the grill.
- When preparing your fruit kabobs, cut large chunks of fruit. However, smaller fruits like grapes and blueberries can also be added. Ensure that they are secured well, so they don't fall through the grill grates.
- Before you put the skewers on the grill, clean the cooking grates. This will help your food taste good and not have any weird flavors from old food.
- Once your fruit kabobs are cooked, you can enjoy them fresh off the grill. However, if you have leftovers, don't throw them away. Instead, chop or blend them into a delicious fruit salsa. The smoky flavor of the grilled fruit mixed with other flavors will result in a rich and flavorful salsa.
- By following these simple steps, you can create a fantastic and healthy dessert that is sure to impress your guests. Don't hesitate to experiment with different fruit combinations and seasonings to find your perfect kabob recipe.
