Cherry-Peach Kabobs

Ingredients

  • 6 to 8 peach halves (canned or fresh, peeled)
  • Maraschino cherries
  • 7 to 10 pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
  • Melted butter or Ginger Butter (recipe from page 129)

These Cherry-Peach Kabobs are a fruity twist on classic grilled desserts. Juicy peaches, sweet maraschino cherries, and tropical pineapple chunks get a buttery glaze and a kiss of heat from the coals. They’re easy to make and bring a colorful finish to any summer meal.

Cooking Steps

  • 1
    Quarter the peach halves.
  • 2
    Thread peach quarters, maraschino cherries, and pineapple chunks onto double skewers, starting and ending with a pineapple chunk.
  • 3
    Grill over hot coals until fruit is warmed through, brushing generously and often with melted butter or ginger butter.
  • 4
    Serve warm off the skewer or over vanilla ice cream.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Add a scoop of whipped cream or Greek yogurt on the side.

  • Try with cinnamon butter or honey glaze for a variation.

  • For extra flair, sprinkle with toasted coconut or granola just before serving.

Tips:

  • If using fresh peaches, make sure they are ripe but still firm so they hold their shape.

  • For added depth, use the Ginger Butter to bring a subtle spice and sweetness.

  • Soak wooden skewers before grilling to prevent burning.

Simple and delicious, these Cherry-Peach Kabobs are the perfect way to showcase fruit on the grill. Whether you’re camping or cooking in the backyard, they’re sure to be a sweet hit!
