Grilled Fruit Kabobs by Helen Agresti, R.D.

Grilled Fruit Kabobs

Grilled fruit kabobs are a great way to get kids cooking in the kitchen.  Our kids love being creative with fruit.  These kabobs make the simplest dish look like a gourmet meal.  The heat from the grill enhances the sweet flavors of the fruit.  This makes grilled fruit kabobs the perfect accompaniment for a savory piece of chicken or fish-not to mention a very nutritious one too.
