Made these pineapple ham kebabs for dinner a couple nights ago. Used red bell peppers for color and for more mellow pepper flavor. My supermarket's produce department has "ready-butchered" fresh pineapple, making the prep even easier. A very simple, quick, and exceedingly tasty main dish, with just a touch of the exotic. A seasoned rice side dish made it a complete and filling meal! Thanx, Mr. Food!
