Dip each vegetable into boiling water for about a minute just to get them lightly blanched and allow them to cool quickly by dipping them into ice water or on a cookie sheet in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.

  6. Lightly brush skewers with olive or vegetable oil and grill them up for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until desired doneness is achieved. Once the skewers are about half way done begin basting them with the jam

Chef's Tips

  • If you are using wooden skewers soak them in water over night to avoid them burning like matchsticks on the grill.
  • Use any other varieties of vegetables such as: eggplant, corn wheels, cauliflower, broccoli, red onion, maybe even fresh cut fruit such as whole strawberries, cubes of melon or apricots, peaches, plums, nectarines, pineapple, figs, apples, and pears.
  • Add some spice by using a jalapeño or habanero jelly or any other specialty jam, jelly or preserve.
