https://www.iheartnaptime.net/fruit-kabobs/#wprm-recipe-container-69766

This is what I consider a “beginners” recipe to grilling fruit. It would be pretty hard to screw it up, though not impossible.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup pineapple
• 1/2 cup watermelon
• 1/2 cup peaches
• 6 skewers
• Optional fruit for grilling: Strawberries, Grapes, Bananas, Kiwi

Instructions

1. Combine the honey, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir until combined. Microwave for 5 to 10 seconds if the honey is too thick. Set aside.
2. Preheat the grill to medium-low heat.
3. Chop the fruit into about 2-inch pieces. Then thread the fruit through your skewers. Transfer onto a baking sheet.
4. Place the kabobs on the grill and cook each side for about 2 to 4 minutes, or until grill marks have started to form. Be careful not to burn the fruit. Then drizzle the glaze on top.
