Fruit Kabobs Recipes

Steps:

• Toss apple and pear with lemon juice. Divide fruit into 12 portions and thread onto wooden skewers. Combine dip ingredients in a small bowl; serve with the kabobs.

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• For the kabobs: Thread 1 piece of red pepper, 1 piece of pineapple and 1 piece of red onion on a metal skewer. Repeat the process until you reach the end of the skewer. Continue with the remaining fruit, vegetables and skewers.
• Drizzle the grill pan with olive oil and grill the kabobs until all sides have char marks, 3 minutes on each side, 12 minutes total.
• For the honey-lime vinaigrette: Add the olive oil, honey, cumin, lime juice and cilantro to a small bowl and mix until combined. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the grilled kabobs.

Steps:

• If you're starting with a whole watermelon, cut it in half. Cut tip to tip, so that if you turn your half upside down, the tips are barely noticeable at each end. Choose to work with the half that looks the best when you turn it over.
• Using a melon baller, scoop out all of the watermelon into nice bite sized balls, place them on a platter as you go. When you can't make any more balls, scrape the remainder of the watermelon out using a spoon until you have an empty shell (all white), and set the shell aside to let it dry out.
• Once the shell is dried out a bit you will turn the shell over onto a platter, so the cut side is down and you've got a nice half round base to work with. Using a paring knife, cut small X marks or poke holes in rows as you choose across the outside of the melon shell. Space the holes about 2" apart.
• Cut the rest of your fruit into bite sized pieces. You may also choose to use the melon baller on the cantaloupe.
• Once all the fruit is cut up, you can start assembling the fruit onto skewers following any pattern you like. The grapes and berries can act as cute stoppers in between larger pieces of fruit. You may also choose to place a piece of fresh mint here and there. Leave about 3" empty on the bottom of each skewer.
• As you finish each skewer poke the bottom into one of the pre-made holes or x's on your watermelon shell. Before long you'll have the entire melon filled up and looking a bit porcupine-ish. If you need to prepare a little in advance, make the skewers and base and then keep them chilled. Poke the skewers into place once you're ready to serve.

Steps:

• Arrange 1 each cheese cube, grape, strawberry and kiwi chunk on each of 16 small straws or wooden skewers.
• Serve as dippers with the pudding and yogurt.

• Seal bag and turn pork to coat well.
• Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours, turning bag occasionally.
• To Prepare Kabobs:.
• Remove pork from bag, reserving marinade.
• On long metal skewers, alternate pork, onion, mushrooms and pineapple leaving about 1/8 inch between pieces.
• Grill kabobs on the grill rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 12 to 14 minutes or till pork is tender and juices run clear, turning once and brushing with reserved marinade halfway through cooking time.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill, or preheat a grill pan for 3 to 5 minutes over medium-high heat.

Steps:

• Skewers
• In a saucepan over high heat, bring the bourbon and water to a boil. Add the sugar and stir until it is dissolved. Add the mint, cover, and let stand for 1 hour. Chill.
• While that is cooling, skewer the fruit onto metal or bamboo skewers, alternating the fruit for color and texture. Place the kabobs on a platter. Drizzle them with the cold mint bourbon sauce. Garnish with fresh mint.

Steps:

• Take 7 wooden skewers and thread the following fruit onto each - 1 raspberry, 1 hulled strawberry, 1 tangerine segment, 1 cube of peeled mango, 1 chunk of peeled pineapple, 1 chunk of peeled kiwi, 1 green and 1 red grape, and finish off with 2 blueberries. Arrange in a rainbow shape and let everyone help themselves.

Steps:

• If using wooden or bamboo skewers, make sure all the splinters are off of them by rolling two together in your hands, or rub them over each other, as if you are sharpening a knife.
• Cut the fruit that is not already small into 1-inch, or bite-size, chunks.
• First, skewer the strawberry.
• Then, skewer the cantelope or orange.
• Then, skewer the pineapple.
• Then, skewer the kiwifruit or honewdew melon.
• Then, finish the skewer with 2 blueberries on the pointed end. Make sure to push them up fairly high, so they don't slip off.
