Have you seen the pineapple and Fireball craze that is going around? Simply grill the pineapple, baste with Fireball and roll in cinnamon/sugar. This is the inspiration for these simple fruit kabobs. What I did is so simple that it hardly is a recipe!
If you are not familiar with Fireball, it is a cinnamon flavored whiskey. It is very hot, but when you use it like I did, the heat seems contained. I love Fireball as a fun once-a-night shot with friends. It reminds me of those red cinnamon candies I loved as a kid!
I love serving fruit kabobs. I feel like there is a whole lot less wasted fruit that when I serve a fruit salad. Kabobs are a good portion size, too, which is nice for those who are watching carbs or calories. I think they are super cute on a plate, too!
