Ingredients

Makes 6 servings

2 cups pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut in chunks

1 cup fresh cherries, pitted

¼ cup pineapple juice

2 Tablespoons brown sugar

²⁄³ cup vanilla yogurt

2 teaspoons brown sugar

½ teaspoon crystallized ginger, finely chopped

½ teaspoon vanilla

The classic flavors of pineapple upside-down cake get an upgrade with this skewered version.

SUPER SKEWERS

We used eco-friendly bamboo skewers ($1.50 for 100, partycity.com) and snipped off the sharp points before serving. To prevent any wooden skewers from burning, soak them for at least an hour before grilling.

Directions

1. Preheat the grill.

2. Thread the pineapple, cake, and cherries onto skewers.

3. In a small bowl, combine the pineapple juice and brown sugar. Brush on the skewered fruit.

4. In another small bowl, combine the yogurt, brown sugar, ginger, and vanilla. Set aside.

5. Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes, turning to cook evenly and being careful not to burn the cake.

6. Serve the skewers warm with the dipping sauce.
