Grilled Ham & Pineapple Kabobs

Ingredients

• 2.5 lbs Pre-Cooked Boneless Ham (casing removed & large diced)
• 1 Large Fresh Pineapple (peeled, cored & large diced)
• 1/2 cup pineapple or orange juice
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger (or to taste)
• 1-2 Tbsp cornstarch + 1-2 Tbsp COLD water

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, & ginger.

2. 2

   Marinade ham dices in the mixture at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator; I like to use a ziploc bag to keep mine in & occasionally mix it up by squeezing the ham around in the bag. Drain ham & SAVE marinade.

3. 3

   After soaking your skewers in water, alternate your ham & pineapple. Leave a little bit of space between them for more even cooking.

4. 4

   Heat marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat. You may add additional brown sugar & ginger to taste, if desired. Wait for mixture to come to a boil & add cornstarch/water slurry. Whisk until boiling & thickened up. Keep warm until ready to grill. This makes a nice thick glaze to add to your kabobs.

5. 5

   Grill skewers until heated through & starting to caramelize, basting on both sides with your warm glaze.
