My kids love food on a stick, and I love making it for them. These sausage kabobs are true perfection. They’re easy, they’ve got a ton of flavour and, put a platter down in front of any group and you’ll soon have tons of “oohs” and “ahs” headed your way. Even if that weren’t the case, I am still dreaming about these sausage kabobs.
Ingredients:
4 Italian sausages, cut into approximately 1 1/2″ pieces
About 20 cherry tomatoes
1 large handful of basil leaves
3 tablespoons peach preserves
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 – 2 tablespoons olive oil
Skewers, soaked in water if wood to avoid burning
Directions:
1.) Place basil leaves on a cutting board or other surface and drizzle olive oil over them. Gently rub the basil leaves together and turn them to thoroughly coat them in the oil. This will prevent them from burning on the grill.
2.) Assemble the skewers by threading the ingredients in this order: sausage, tomato, basil. Continue threading the ingredients in this order until all skewers have been made.
3.) Heat grill to medium heat. When hot, place kabobs onto the grill and cook for about 10 minutes, until sausages are completely cooked and brown.
4.) While kabobs are cooking, make the glaze. Place the peach preserves and balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan. Whisk to combine and heat over medium-low heat until the glaze has reached a nice consistency and is hot throughout.
5.) Remove kabobs from the grill and place on a serving platter or cutting board. Brush the glaze over top.
6.) Serve and enjoy!
