Ingredients
1/2 cored fresh pineapple from the produce department, available in sacks or tubs
1 seedless navel oranges or Sicilian blood oranges
8 strawberries, hulled (remove the greens and the tiny tops where fruit attached to vine using a small paring knife)
4-inch skewers
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1 lemon, zested
1 lime, zested
Directions
- Cut pineapple half lengthwise. Cut the half into quarters lengthwise. Cut the quarters into 6 chunks, making 24 pieces. Trim the ends off the orange and remove the peel. Cut the orange into 6 wedges then cut wedges in half across. Stack 8 pieces of pineapple and 3 pieces of orange and 2 strawberries on each 4-inch skewer. Place skewered fruit on shallow dish.
- In a sauce pot combine sugar and water and place over high heat. Add the zests to the sugar. Bring sugar to a simmer, or until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Remove the citrus infused sugar from heat and pour over the skewers. Let flavors infuse 10 to 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
