Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
In small pot combine the brown sugar with 1/4 cup water, cinnamon and orange zest. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool to room temp.
Thread 2 pieces of each type of fruit onto each skewer. Grill the skewers until the fruit is warm and lightly charred about 6 minutes giving the skewers a quarter turn every 1 /12 minutes. Make sure to brush with the brown sugar syrup after each turn.
While fruit is grilling, make the dipping sauce. Whisk together the yogurt, orange juice, an 1 tbs. of the brown sugar syrup in a serving bowl.

Serve grilled fruit with dipping sauce.
