Hey Amy!

I am excited for the BBQ season.  There is not much you can’t make on a grill and I enjoying trying new dishes.  I made this last summer for a last minute gathering.  It is super sweet and a perfect ending to an outdoor meal.  Kids love it because they can use their fingers to eat.  Adults love it because they think it’s healthy!  I kid, I kid.

Ingredients:

2 apples, cored and wedged
2 firm pears, cored and wedged
juice of 1/2 lemon
2 Tbsp + 1/2 c. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. ground allspice
1/2 c. + 1 c. butter (1/2 c. melted)
6 Tbsp. heavy cream

Toss the apples and pears in the lemon juice.  Mix 2 Tbsp. sugar and allspice together and sprinkle over fruit.  Thread fruit onto presoaked wooden skewers.  Set aside.  Make the toffee sauce by placing the 1 c. butter and 1/2 c. brown sugar in a pan and stirring gently until butter has melted and sugar dissolved.  Add cream and bring to a boil.  Boil for 2 minutes the let cool slightly.

Meanwhile, place the kabobs over hot coals and cook for 5 minutes, turning and basting constantly with the melted 1/2 c. butter, until fruit is tender.  Remove to serving dish and drizzle toffee over kabobs.

I don’t drizzle, I dump it.  Nothing is better than the oozing, gooey-ness of warm toffee.  Don’t be cautious, let it flow!
