Honolulu Ham and Papaya Kebabs (Appetizers)

Tasty appetizers and simple to make.

• Ready In: 16 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 lb  lean cooked ham, cut into 3/4 inch cubes
• 1  large  ripe papaya, peeled, seeded, and cut into 3/4 inch cubes
• 3  tablespoons butter, melted
• 2  tablespoons  freshly squeezed and strained lemons or 2  tablespoons lime juice
• 2  teaspoons sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1  pinch ginger

Directions

1. Thread the ham cubes on small, wet bamboo skewers, alternating them with the papaya cubes and leaving enough room at one end of each skewer to handle. Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Dip the skewers in the seasoned butter and broil, preferably over charcoal, 3 to 4 inches from the heat, turning and basting occasionally with the butter, about 6 minutes or until the ham and papaya are glazed and lightly browned. Arrange the skewers on a heated platter and serve hot. Makes 8 servings.
