Grand Marnier Kabobs

3 apricots, firm & fresh

3 figs, firm & fresh

2 slices pineapple, 1 inch thick

2 tangerines

2 bananas, firm & fresh

2 red delicious apples

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1/3 cup unsalted butter

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tbsp fresh orange juice

1 tbsp grated orange peel

1 tbsp Grand Marnier^™

Cut apricots in half, remove pits. Remove stalks and cut figs lengthwise in quarters. Cut pineapple slices in chunks. Peel tangerines and cut in quarters, leaving membranes on. Peel bananas and cut into 1" slices. Peel apples and cut in quarters. Remove core and cut each quarter crosswise. Sprinkle apples and bananas with lemon juice to keep from discolouring.

Thread a mixture of fruit onto 6 skewers starting and finishing with apple and pineapple. To prepare sauce, melt butter in a small saucepan. Stir in powdered sugar, then Grand Marnier^™ and orange juice and peel. Brush kabobs with sauce. Cook over MEDIUM heat, 5-6 minutes, basting frequently with the sauce, and turning to brown evenly. Serve hot with remaining sauce.
