Preparation

Step 1

Coat grill rack with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium heat.
Thread pound cake pieces and strawberries alternately as desired on skewers, beginning and ending with pound cake.
Place skewers on a platter.

For glace: In a small bowl combine preserves, orange juice and if desired the liqueur. Gently brush half of the glaze on both sides of each skewer.
Grill skewers 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side or just until grill marks appear. Transfer to a serving platter: brush with remaining glaze. Serve skewers with whipped cream, if desired.
