Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar

• 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
• 1 oz. dark rum
• 1/2 medium pineapple
• 2 large mangoes, cut into large cubes
• 2 large bananas, cut into large cubes

Makes 8 Servings

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high or heat a grill pan over high heat.
2. Combine sugar, margarine, ginger and rum in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until well-combined, about 2-3 minutes; set aside.
3. Thread fruit onto 8 (10-inch) or 16 (6-inch) metal or wooden skewers (make sure to soak wooden skewers in water for about 20 minutes to prevent charring); brush with sugar mixture.
4. Place kebobs on grill or grill pan; cook until grill marks show on bottom side of fruit, about 1-2 minutes. Turn kebobs; grill until marks appear on other side, about 1-2 minutes more. Serve hot, room temperature or chilled.
