  • Brush the fruit skewers with the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.

Cooking Tips

  • Soaking skewers: Always soak wooden skewers in water before grilling to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • Marinating fruit: The lemon juice and cinnamon not only add flavor but also help in caramelizing the fruit, enhancing the natural sweetness.
  • Grilling: Monitor the fruits closely while grilling to prevent over-charring, which can alter the flavors unfavorably.
