It's Summer and grills all over are getting fired up for the grilling season. Anybody can make a kabob, just skewer your ingredients and grill, so this week we decided to mix up this classic Summer food. These grilled pineapple and ham kabobs with a brown sugar glaze are a great appetizer or entree with a unique twist for you try out at your next BBQ! All we ask is if someone asks how you thought of this dish, make sure to tell them you found it on Delicious and Simple!
Ingredients:
1 dozen Wooden skewers
1/2 cup Brown sugar
1/3 cup Pineapple juice
~1/4 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper
20 oz. can Pineapple chunks or Freshly cut pineapple (Reserve the pineapple juice)
9 oz. Ultra thin sliced honey ham
Directions:
Roll ham slices and tear each in thirds.
Strain pineapple chunks, reserving the juice for glaze.
Mix brown sugar, pineapple juice and black pepper in a small pot over medium heat.
Bring to a boil then turn down heat to low, constantly stirring so glaze does not burn.
Heat for a few minutes, then take pot of the burner and set aside.
Assemble each skewer, starting with pineapple and alternating with ham; each skewer should have four pieces of pineapple and three bunched up pieces of ham. (I personally like a rustic look which is the reason why I used this type of ham.)
Preheat indoor grilling pan or outdoor barbecue, then spray your cooking surface with nonstick cooking spray.
Place each skewer on the grill.
Using a pastry brush, brush on brown sugar glaze, making sure to apply it on both sides of the skewer.
Grill for 2 minutes on each side or until pineapple gains a caramelized look with lightly browned edges.
Remove skewers from heat and place onto a serving platter.
Makes 12 skewers.
