Fruit ‘n’ Cake Kebabs

A delicious dessert, and one of but a few that can be cooked on the barbecue alongside or after cooking the chops and sausages.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup apricot preserves
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3 medium nectarines, pitted and quartered
• 3 medium plums, pitted and quartered
• 3 medium peaches, pitted and quartered
• 1 loaf pound cake, cut into cubes

Directions

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the apricot preserves, water, butter, cinnamon and nutmeg until blended.

2. On eight metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread the nectarines, plums, peaches and cake cubes.

3. Grill, uncovered, over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until cake is golden brown and fruit is tender, brushing occasionally with apricot mixture.
