Enjoy a little taste of the tropics with these Sausage & Pineapple Appetizer Kabobs!Β 
We serve grilled sausages all the time. Sometimes as an appetizer, with a little hot sweet mustard for dipping, or as a main course, served on a toasted roll with grilled peppers & onions. Since I had a nice fresh pineapple, and not enough other fruit for a fruit salad, I opted for these Sausage & Pineapple Appetizer Kabobs. And, if you ask me, pineapple & sausage go together as well as peanut butter & jelly!
These were so delicious! Grilled sausage is always good and the addition of the sweet grilled pineapple, made these the perfect two-bite appetizer!
Enjoy them plain, as pictured above ^^ or even better, top them with a little teriyaki glaze!!
For the glaze I simply used bottled Soy Vay Teriyaki that I had on hand and reduced it down a little to create a glaze. If you prefer to make a homemade teriyaki, here’s a recipe I found on All RecipesΒ that sounds like one worth trying.
Do you have a favorite sausage? I started buying Aidell’s sausage a few years ago, and love their Chicken Apple Sausages and also the Spicy Mango with Jalepeno. I used the Chicken Apple for these Sausage & Pineapple Appetizer Kabobs.
I hope you enjoy this simple appetizer! Please remember to share on FB or Pinterest πΒ 
- 1 pkg Aidell's Chicken Apple Sausage (or use your favorite)
- ½ fresh pineapple (cut into spears, then cubed)
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce (I use Soy Vay)
- ¼ tsp brown sugar
- ¼ tsp cornstarch (used to help thicken the glaze)
- small wooden skewers
- Soak wooden skewers in cold water (this prevents them from burning on the grill).
- Measure teriyaki sauce into a small saucepan, stir in brown sugar. Heat over medium heat until it comes to a low boil.
- Stir ¼ cornstarch into about a tablespoon of water until well blended. Stir into teriyaki sauce. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer until sauce begins to thicken (20-30 minutes).
- Cut each sausage into cubes and set aside (4-5 per sausage).
- To prep pineapple, first cut off ends, and carefully slice off skin. Slice in half lengthwise, then into quarters. Cut out core. Cut each quarter in half. You should now have 8 peeled & cored spears. Cut 4 of those spears into cubes (size size as the sausage cubes). Save remaining 4 spears for enjoying another time.
- Remove skewers from water and assemble with sausage & pineapple chunks.
- Preheat grill to medium and grill, turning regularly for about 5 minutes or until heated through with nice grill marks.
- Drizzle teriyaki glaze over top and enjoy!
Hot Wings are always a popular appetizer!
Or even something as simple as Homemade Onion DipΒ 
And of course, Beet Hummus!Β It’s as delicious as it is beautiful!Β 
These are the perfect sweet and spicy little bite!
My hubs and I looove grilled pineapple!! We’ll have to add in the sausage next time. Looks amazing with the teriyaki sauce :0
Mmmm! I know my family would go crazy over this recipe. I’m going to have to tuck this idea away for our 4th of July picnic!
I love this appetizer! The sweet and savory combination is perfection. Great for cookouts.
