Main Ingredients:

4 (12-inch/30-cm) skewers

2 tbsp ( 30 mL) liquid honey

2 tbsp ( 30 mL) balsamic vinegar

2 tsp ( 10 mL) grated lime peel

1/4 tsp ( 1 mL) cinnamon, nutmeg or hot red chili flakes

4 cups ( 1 L) bite-size pieces mixed fresh fruit, such as pineapple, mangoes, bananas, strawberries, peaches and grapes

3 large basil leaves (optional)

Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1. If using bamboo skewers, soak in water for at least 15 minutes. Grease grill, then preheat barbecue to high. In a large bowl, stir honey with vinegar, peel and cinnamon.



2. Cut pineapple, mangoes and bananas into bite-size chunks. If strawberries are large, slice in half. Cut peaches into wedges and leave grapes whole. Add to honey mixture and gently stir to combine. Let fruit marinate for 5 to 10 minutes. Then alternately thread fruit onto skewers.



3. Grill kebabs, turning at least once, until fruit is tender, from 4 to 5 minutes per side. Meanwhile, stack basil leaves, if using, on top of one another. Thinly slice into strips. Remove kebabs to a serving platter. Sprinkle with basil. Great with vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.
