Sweet Teriyaki Beef Skewers

Is it hot where you are? Wow, it is hot here in southern Florida. I know it is summer, but really?

We have been grilling out a lot these days, so when I saw this recipe for Sweet Teriyaki Beef Skewers, I knew that I had to make them.

I made a few changes to the original recipe, like adding some grated fresh ginger and mango/pineapple juice instead of just pineapple juice.

I marinated the beef for only 6 hours instead of the 24 it called for and they were still great. This would be great to do the night before so all you would have to do is grill them when you come home.

The recipe stated that the pineapple juice was optional, but I think it gave it added flavor, even though I used a mango/pineapple version.

I love recipes that I can easily make changes to. Next time I am going to try chicken instead of beef.

Hope you enjoy this recipe and try and stay cool!

Pineapple Crop

We started a pineapple garden a few years ago. The number of pineapples were slow at first and then they took off. This year I counted 57 pineapples - our best crop yet.

So when I was at our other house (where the pineapples are) I noticed that a few of them were starting to ripen and also that some animal was eating other ones.

Not all of the pineapples were as ripe as they should be but I picked some anyway. I have read that they will not ripen once picked but they are and the flavor is incredible. These pineapples are so yummy!

We picked 15 that were the closet to being ready. Now this was Saturday's haul because we had been eating pineapple all week.

I might freeze some pineapples - had never done that before and looking for pineapple recipes. I even thought of making pineapple jam.

If you have any suggestions or recipes, please send them my way. Tonight is chicken with pineapple someway!
