Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapple: Select pineapples that are fully ripe, fragrant, and have a vibrant yellow color. Avoid pineapples with bruises or blemishes.
  • Use thick-cut ham slices: Thicker ham slices will hold their shape better on the skewers and provide a more substantial bite.
  • Marinate the ham and pineapple: Marinating the ham and pineapple in a flavorful mixture of brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger adds extra flavor and moisture to the kabobs.
  • Preheat the grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat before cooking the kabobs. This will help to prevent the ham and pineapple from sticking to the grates.
  • Cook the kabobs over medium-high heat: Cook the kabobs over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the ham is cooked through and the pineapple is slightly caramelized.
  • Baste the kabobs with marinade: Baste the kabobs with the remaining marinade during cooking to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve immediately: Serve the kabobs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce or teriyaki sauce.

Conclusion:

Ham and pineapple kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for summer grilling parties or potlucks. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of preparation, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests. So fire up the grill and give this recipe a try!
