Preparation

Step 1

1. Prior to grilling soak your wooden skewers in water for a minimum of an hour {to avoid them catching on fire} If you’re using metal skewers, obviously you can skip this step.
2. When your skewers are ready, slice the sausages into roughly 1″ sections. Assemble the skewers by placing a piece of sausage, a cherry tomato, a piece of basil. Continue this pattern two additional times per skewer. Continue assembling until all skewers are done. Lightly brush the basil leaves with a canola or vegetable oil to keep them from burning.
3. Place Kebabs onto your hot grill and cook until sausages are brown {turning as necessary} Transfer cooked kebabs onto serving tray. Set aside to rest.
4. WHILE the kebabs are resting, into a small saucepan add fig preserves and balsamic. Stir to combine and cook over low-med heat until it reaches a nice smooth consistency. Baste sauce over the tops of kebabs prior to serving.
