Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe fruit: This will ensure that your kabobs are flavorful and juicy. Avoid using fruit that is bruised or overripe.
  • Use a variety of colors and textures: This will make your kabobs more visually appealing and interesting to eat. Some good options include grapes, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, melon, and mango.
  • Cut the fruit into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a variety of fruit, try to cut them into pieces that are about the same size.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: This will add flavor and variety to your kabobs. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, provolone, and goat cheese.
  • Drizzle the kabobs with olive oil or balsamic vinegar: This will help to keep them moist and flavorful. You can also sprinkle them with herbs or spices, such as basil, oregano, or thyme.
  • Grill the kabobs over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning. Cook the kabobs for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the fruit is slightly caramelized and the cheese is melted.
  • Serve the kabobs immediately: They are best enjoyed while they are still warm. You can serve them with a dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or honey mustard.
