Holiday Ham Kabobs

By cdrier

Ingredients

• 1 can (20 oz.) unsweetened pineapple chunks
• 6 tbsp. butter
• 1/3 c. packed brown sugar
• 1 /2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch slices
• 1 medium green pepper, cut into chunks
• 1-1/2 c. *Drier's* ham cubed (1-inch cubes)

Preparation

Step 1

Drain the pineapple chunks, reserving 2 tablespoons juice; set pineapple aside (discard remaining juice or save for another use). In a saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Set aside. Place sweet potatoes in another saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are tender; drain. On metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread sweet potatoes, green pepper, ham and pineapple. Brush with brown sugar mixture. Broil 4 inch from the heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until heated through and peppers are tender, basting occasionally.
