Ingredients Needed
- 1 fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Optional: other fruits like strawberries, melon, or banana

Preparation Steps
Start by preparing the pineapple. Cut it into bite-sized chunks, removing the tough core. In a small bowl, mix the honey and lemon juice to create a sweet glaze.
Thread the pineapple chunks onto the skewers, alternating with other fruits if desired. Once assembled, brush the skewers generously with the honey mixture.
Grilling the Skewers
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, basting with more honey mixture as needed. The fruit should develop a nice caramelized exterior.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the grilled fruit skewers warm, garnished with fresh mint or a drizzle of extra honey for added sweetness. They make a refreshing dessert or a flavorful side dish for grilled meats.
Tips for Success
- Use ripe but firm pineapple for the best texture.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Experiment with different fruits to customize your skewers.
