Ingredients
For the skewers
- 3-4 peaches, sliced in half, pit removed and sliced into 1 inch cubes (about 2 cups)
- 2 cups cubed honeydew melon (1 inch cubes)
- 8-12 1 inch cubes of feta cheese
- 6-8 wood or metal skewers
For the cranberry marinade
- 1 cup Cape Cod Frozen Cranberries
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 tbsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- juice of one lemon
- 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
Instructions
- If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water while you prep the ingredients.
- To a medium pan add 2 tbsp butter and turn to medium heat. Add in the cranberries, maple syrup and water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, turn to medium low heat and cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until cranberries are reduced to a jammy like texture. Set aside.
- In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, dried oregano, salt, pepper, lemon juice, red wine vinegar and minced garlic. Add the cranberry mixture and whisk together. Set aside.
- To assemble, thread the peach cubes, melon cubes and feta cubes onto skewers, mix and match as you go.
- Make sure to leave some room at the base of the skewer so you can grab onto them to place on the grill. This should make about 6-8 skewers.
- Spray grill with cooking spray or oil grill with avocado oil. Heat it to 350-375F.
- Brush the skewers with the cranberry marinade and keep any of the sauce that’s left.
- Once the grill is heated, add the skewers and grill about 2-3 minutes per side, total about 8-12 minutes until melon and peach are just tender, basting with the sauce a few times. Serve as an appetizer or on top of greens or grains of choice.
