Notes
If you use wooden skewers be sure to soak them in water first, this will keep them from burning while grilling. Soaking for about 30 minutes should do it.Store any leftover skewers in an airtight container and refrigerate. They can be re-heated in a low oven. They will keep for up to 2 days in the fridge.
