KIELBASA APPLE KABOBS
This is a super simple recipe I copied from the Whole Foods Market website. The grilled kielbasa have such a wonderful flavor. You can even use turkey kielbasa to save on calories and fat. I use more apple just because my kids like the way they taste off the grill. It's okay to let the ingredients sit in the lemon juice mixture for a few minutes. I was concerned about that at first, but it does not overpower or alter the flavor of the dish. I also don't use the skewers. I use a grilling basket - it's much faster!! I serve with couscous.

BARBECUED KIELBASA AND APPLE KEBABS
Polska Kielbasa is good when grilled and glazed. The fruity sauce is a natural for the threesome: onion, sausage and apples. The recipe makes just enough sauce for the glaze; nothing leftover for dipping.

- Cook the kielbasa and apples until they are browned: This will help to develop their flavor and make them more caramelized.
- Add a splash of apple cider or white wine: This will help to deglaze the pan and add a bit of acidity to the dish.
- Serve the dish immediately: Apple kielbasa is best served hot and fresh out of the pan.
