Or squeeze lemon or orange juice into the melted butter.
Serve the skewers with a little of the basting sauce poured over them.
1-1/2 pounds mixed fresh fruits
1/4 cup sugarThread the fruits alternately onto skewers. Cook them over a medium fire, turning the skewers frequently, for 5 to 10 minutes. Then sprinkle them with the sugar and let it caramelize over the fire.
