Preparation
Step 1
Build a charcoal fire for direct grilling. Soak the bamboo skewers in a bowl of water and set aside.
Step 2
Combine the glaze ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. Add the fruit and toss gently to coat with the glaze. Cover and refrigerate.
Step 3
Thread the fruit on the soaked skewers, alternating each fruit type. Place the skewers on the grill and cook directly over medium-high heat for 1 1/2 minutes on each side, or until browned and caramelized. Serve warm.
