Grilled Brunch Skewers with Maple Glaze
Posted November 8, 2023 by: Admin
Prepare to be amazed by these grilled pineapple sausage skewers; they are not only incredibly tasty but also a breeze to make. The secret to their mouthwatering glaze? It’s the magic of TABASCO® Sauce, which adds a delightful blend of sweetness, spiciness, and smokiness to the mix. We’d like to extend a big thank you to our friends at TABASCO® Brand for sponsoring this delectable recipe.
These skewers come together quickly, and you can even prepare them in advance. Imagine welcoming your summer brunch party guests with the sweet, smoky aroma of these skewers sizzling on the grill.
If you haven’t tried grilled pineapple before, you’re in for a treat. Grilling caramelizes the glaze on the outside, intensifying the pineapple’s natural sweetness. Pair it with sausage and bell pepper, and you’ll experience an almost tropical flavor explosion!
Make-ahead tip: You can prepare the skewers and glaze a day ahead, cover them, and refrigerate for easy entertaining. Just brush them with the glaze right before grilling.
How to Make Pineapple Sausage Skewers:
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup BBQ sauce, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 2 tsp TABASCO® Sauce. Stir together and set aside.
- Thread sausage, pineapple pieces, red bell pepper, and red onion onto the skewer, alternating the ingredients as you add them.
- Brush skewers with marinade, then place them on the preheated BBQ, cover, and grill for 3 minutes on the first side. Turn, brush with more marinade, and grill for about 2 minutes per side, brushing with more marinade as you turn the skewers. Grill until vegetables are cooked to your desired doneness (total grilling time: 10-12 minutes).
