Caramel Sauce For Grilled Plum Kabobs Recipes

GRILLED PLUM KABOBS

Steps:

• Arrange 4 plum quarters on each of 8 skewers so that cut sides of fruit all face in the same direction. Brush cut side of fruit with oil, and place, cut side down, on a medium-hot grill, off direct heat.
• Grill just until fruit begins to turn golden brown, about 2 minutes. Brush bottoms of fruit with oil, and turn over. Grill until pit cavity fills with juices and fruit is soft, about 5 minutes, depending on ripeness of fruit and heat of grill.
• Serve with bowls of vanilla ice cream, drizzled with caramel sauce.

• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Thread 4 or 5 meat pieces alternately with potatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, bell pepper and onion on each of 8 large (15-inch) or 16 small metal or bamboo skewers, leaving space between each piece.
• Cover and grill kabobs over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes, turning and brushing 2 or 3 times with dressing, until meats are done. When done, beef, chicken and sausage are no longer pink in center and shrimp are pink and firm. Serve kabobs with warm or cold sauce and salsa.

GRILLED FRUIT KABOBS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and place a large sheet of foil onto the grate.
• Melt the margarine and honey together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Do not let the sauce boil.
• Thread a peach quarter, a plum quarter, a banana piece, and a strawberry onto each skewer. Place the skewers onto the foil on the preheated grill; spoon margarine-honey mixture over each skewer.
• Grill until the fruit is softened and the sauce has thickened and cooked onto the fruit, about 5 minutes. Flip the skewers, spoon more margarine-honey sauce over each, and grill for about 5 more minutes on the other side.
