Pineapple & Coconut Kebabs

Watching afternoon TV, I felt like a sweet treat but remembered that I did actually promise myself not to have sugary treats during weekdays and so far I have stuck to it. So, we had a giant pineapple sat on the kitchen floor (that is where we leave it to ripen) and thought that is quite sweet. Obviously, for myself munching on just freshly chopped pineapple is not enough so I came up with these sweet and delicious kebabs. Very quick and easy to prepare and cook you will have a great healthy, sweet treat in minutes. You can used canned pineapple chunks if you like but believe me fresh ripe pineapple is so so good, so do try and get your hands on a fresh pineapple. They are also great to grill on the BBQ to finish a great meal. Give them a go...for 8 kebabs you will need...

  • 32 large pieces fresh ripe pineapple
  • 6 tablespoons desiccated coconut
  • ¼ teaspoon mixed spice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 8 bamboo skewers

How to... 
  1. In a bowl or plate mix the coconut, mixed spice and cinnamon well. 
  2. Roll the pineapple pieces in the coconut/spice mixture and put 4 pineapple pieces on every skewers.
  3. Grill on a hot grill pan or BBQ for a couple of minutes on each side until slightly charred.
  4. Serve.
Enjoy!!
