Recipe Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Honey Mixture:

    • 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.

Flavor Profile:

These Honey Ham Kabobs are a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors, combining the natural sweetness of pineapple with the rich, smoky notes of grilled ham. 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!
