Ingredients

1 medium apple
1 medium banana
1 medium peach or nectarine
1 medium pear
2 slices fresh pineapple (1 inch thick)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Cut all of the fruit into 1-in. chunks. Alternately thread onto 16 soaked wooden skewers (using two skewers side by side for each kabob so the fruit doesn't turn). In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, lemon juice, oil and cinnamon.
Grill kabobs, uncovered, over medium heat for 6 minutes or until heated through, turning often and basting frequently with brown sugar mixture.
