Preparation

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning. (You’ll need six.)

To make the glaze, in a small bowl, combine preserves with soy sauce. Stir until uniform.

Place squash and apples in a large microwave-safe bowl with 1 tbsp. water. Cover and microwave for 2 minutes. Stir, and microwave for 2 more minutes, or until squash has slightly softened.

Alternately thread squash, apples, and sausage coins onto six skewers, tightly packing pieces together.

Spray a grill with nonstick spray and bring to medium-low heat. Brush all sides of the kebabs with the glaze. Grill for 6 minutes with the grill cover down.

Flip kebabs. With the grill cover down, grill for 6 - 8 minutes, or until squash has softened.
