Print Recipe

These skewers combine smoky kielbasa and caramelized pineapple with a sticky honey mustard glaze for a quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing outdoor grilling treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers (if wooden, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes)

Instructions

  1. Slice the kielbasa into 1-inch pieces and cut the pineapple into similarly sized chunks.
  2. Alternate threading kielbasa and pineapple onto each skewer, leaving a little space between pieces for even cooking.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and glossy. Adjust sweetness or tang to taste.
  4. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using a grill pan, lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
  5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side.
  6. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the skewers generously with the honey mustard glaze, turning frequently to develop a sticky, caramelized coating.
  7. Look for char marks on the kielbasa and pineapple edges; they should be golden and slightly crispy.
  8. Transfer skewers to a platter and let rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the glaze to set slightly.
  9. Serve warm.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Brush the glaze on during the last 5 minutes of cooking to avoid burning the honey. If glaze burns too quickly, move skewers to a cooler part of the grill or reduce heat. Uniformly sized pieces ensure even cooking. Can be broiled or cooked on a grill pan indoors if needed.
