Quick, easy, tasty grilled skewers

Hawaiian Kielbasa Pineapple Grilled Skewers

Lately I have been going for easy and quick meals or making ahead meals that I freeze or can just throw together quickly. I have also been on a pineapple kick the last few weeks and patiently waiting for strawberry season to kick in so I can go to the farm and pick some along with using other fresh fruits. I wanted something sweet and hawaiian tasting that night so I just used what I had in the pantry.

I used turkey kielbasa this time but any kind will do.

The Marinade

-Pineapple juice- I used a little bit of it from the fresh pineapple we cut up and some from a can

-Soy sauce- I use low sodium or Bragg's, like I said whatever you have

-Honey

- a few dashes of Worcestershire Sauce

-a splash of Orange Juice

* you can add some Ginger (fresh or grated) to this I honestly can't remember if I did or not

Wisk together and make sure honey combines well with liquids. Taste the marinade you can always add more of something to make it more to your liking. 

Skewers

-cut Kielbasa in fairly good size hunks I do it on the bias 

- Pineapple hunks we had fresh pineapple that we cut into big hunks

-chop White Onion into hunks

-chop Red and Yellow Peppers  into big hunks *can use whatever color pepper you want 

Stir and make sure the marinade coats everything really well, I let it soak in the marinade for a while this is optional but it needs a few minutes to let the veggies and fruit absorb the marinade and coat everything.

Then put onto skewers we have metal ones if you use wooden soak in water to prevent them from burning will on the grill. I put the meat, veggies and fruit all on the same skewer but you can do the meat separate from everything else if you choose. These do not take long to grill and the honey caramelizes nicely while they cook. It takes about 10 minutes roughly until they get heated through and some char on them, rotating them every few minutes. I use the extra marinade in the bowl to brush on while cooking and you can use it for a dipping sauce or pour over once it comes off the grill before you serve it.

** the Kielbasa is already cooked so you are just heating it.
