Ingredients:

• 1 Sara Lee Pound Cake
• 1 pineapple, fresh cubed
• 1 cantaloupe, fresh cubed
• 1 pint strawberries
• 1/2 cup rum
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 6 teaspoons vanilla extract (1 per kabob)
• 1/2 cup coconut flakes (toasted, optional)
• Metal or wooden skewers
• 1 cup yogurt (optional)

Directions:

1. Slice pound cake, pineapple and cantaloupe into approximately 1 inch chunks and place on skewers, alternating cake and fruit.
2. Meanwhile, to create the sauce, bring rum, brown sugar and vanilla to a slow boil and reduce heat to simmer until alcohol is reduced.
3. Brush each kabob with rum sauce and sprinkle with coconut.
4. Place skewers on clean, hot grill and heat on each side just until golden, 2-3 minutes. If using wooden skewers, soak skewers in a bowl of water for 30 minutes before placing on hot grill.
