   • In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, and orange juice. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.

2. Assemble the Kabobs:

   • Alternate threading the ham cubes, pineapple chunks, and green olives onto skewers. You can adjust the order and quantity based on your preference.

3. Grill the Kabobs:

   • Preheat your grill to medium heat.
   • Place the assembled kabobs on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning them often to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.

4. Baste with Honey Mixture:

   • Throughout the grilling process, baste the kabobs liberally with the prepared honey mixture after each turn. This helps to enhance flavor and keep the kabobs moist.

5. Serve:

   • Once the ham is heated through and has a nice caramelized glaze from the honey mixture, remove the kabobs from the grill.
   • Serve hot, optionally garnished with additional fresh pineapple chunks or a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for added freshness.

Recipe Tips:

• Choosing Ham: Opt for ham steaks that are not too thin to ensure they hold up well on the skewers and don’t overcook quickly.
• Grilling: Keep an eye on the kabobs while grilling and adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning the honey glaze.
• Variations: Feel free to customize the kabobs by adding cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or even chunks of zucchini for more vegetable variety.

The honey-orange glaze adds a delightful caramelization that enhances the overall tropical experience of this dish. Ideal for summer gatherings or any time you want to bring a taste of the tropics to your table!
