  • Cut the fruit into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • Brush the fruit kabobs with olive oil or melted butter before grilling. This will help to keep them moist and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
  • Grill the fruit kabobs over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning them once or twice, until they are slightly charred and caramelized.
  • Serve the fruit kabobs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
