I've done those for years... makes for a fancy looking dessert - only I won't use canned pineapple - I use lots of melon - honey dew, casaba, watermelon.. or peaches -- really any fruit will do

the yogurt sauce is quite yummy too (makesa good sauce for dipping waffles into too)

It's also a great dessert to bring to parties... rather than the usual brownies or cookies...

for some added flavor if you soak the skewers first for about an hour or so - then you can grill the fruit... it adds a new level of flavor that's totally yummy

really any kind of fruit can be skewered... it just has to be firm enough- watermelon is the toughest but it still works.

Pineapple is hard to skewer -- especially the canned stuff cuz it's a little slippery - I've done a grilled shrimp and pineapple kabob... that the shrimp marinates in the pineapple juice and garlic and jalapeno pepper... then skewered and grilled til it's cooked -the pinapple slides all over the skewer..
