Ingredients

8 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
1/2 pound sweet Italian sausage, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 red pepper, cored and cut into 1-inch squares
1/4 pound pancetta, cubed
1/2 cup pineapple cubes, fresh or canned

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Thread the skewers starting with the sausage, then the red pepper, then the pancetta, then the pineapple. Each skewer should have 2 of these sets. Continue with the rest of the skewers.

Arrange on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown on the edges and the pancetta is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Serve warm.

So good! I can't wait to make this dish again! Enough to make a vegetarian's mouth water.

Not as good as they look
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I was excited to make this but the pancetta came out tough. The pieces were cubed - the flavor was good but definitely chewy.... The fresh pineapple would have been better had it been sweeter. Sausage and pepper were delish. Did I do something wrong?Read more

Made these for a pre-Christmas gathering and they were a hit. Easy, fun and colorful. I would add some onion and/or... mushroom next time. This recipe is saved in the recipe box for another day!Read more

I made these today and they turned out great! I used mushrooms instead of peppers and they turned out great. Plus, my husband... really liked the idea of meat on a stick.Read more
