Directions

For the sausage, pork and beef skewers

Prepare a medium/hot grill.
Assemble them by threading equal amounts of each skewer ingredient onto each of the 4 skewers.
Season the skewers with salt and pepper and coat them with the cooking spray.
Place them on the preheated grill and cook until your desired doneness, being sure to cook the pork and sausage until you reach a safe internal temperature (155ºF-160ºF).

For the watermelon skewers

Prepare a medium/hot grill.
Spray the watermelon and jicama with cooking spray and grill until you get nice grill marks on all sides. Let cool.
Once cooled, thread the watermelon, bocconcini, basil and jicama on the 4 skewers.
Drizzle with fresh lime juice, if desired and serve.

Recipe Note

For the Pork & Apple Skewers, squeeze the limes (juice) all over the assembled skewers and discard the limes.
