Fruit-Stacked Sticks (Rachael Ray)

  • 1/2 cored fresh pineapple
  • 1 seedless navel orange
  • 8 strawberries, hulled
  • 4-inch skewers
  • 3/4 c. sugar
  • 3/4 c. water
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 1 lime, zested
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.
