Grilled Pineapple Sausage Skewers
These skewers come together quickly and you can completely make them ahead. Welcome your summer brunch party guests to the sweet smoky aroma of these grilling away.
Have you tried grilled pineapple before? I’m convinced it is the best way to eat pineapple. The grill caramelizes the glaze on the outside and really amplifies the natural sweetness of pineapple. It pairs beautifully with sausage and bell pepper and gives these skewers an almost tropical flavor.
