  1. This was nice and easy (just like the title says). I made a couple of changes. I didn't use grapefruit sections, because of my picky eaters. Instead I used orange sections. But I did buy a large grapefruit and juice it for the marinade. This only made 2/3 cup of juice, so I topped it off with some tangerine juice in the fridge. I used Triple Sec for the liquor. I didn't peel the apples or peaches. One thing I would change next time... I doubt I would use the bananas again. I had firm but ripe bananas, and when I left them to marinate for 1 hour, they kind of dissolved a bit and got mushy. They also were difficult to keep on the skewer, and some pieces split and fell off. So I would just not bother with the bananas next time. I served this as a side dish to Recipe #138684 for dinner last night. Thanks!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
