Meet the Cook: I still remember the first time I served these colorful kabobs - my family was thrilled to find a surprise in the tasty meatballs. Since I make them often, I sometimes substitute different vegetables or cheeses for variety. -Kristen Wondra, Hudson, Kansas

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons apple juice
  • Dash cayenne pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
