Ingredients
>
1/2 ( 10.75 oz.) pound cake, cut into pieces 1 1/4 inches thick
>
1 lb large fresh strawberries, hulled (about 16)
>
8 ea short skewers
>
4 tbsp seedless strawberry preserves
>
2 tbsp orange juice
>
1 tbsp orange liqueur (optional)
>
dollop whipped cream (optional)
Steps
1
Coat grill rack with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium (300°F-350°F). Thread pound cake pieces and strawberries alternately as desired on skewers, beginning and ending with pound cake. Place skewers on a platter.
2
For the glaze, in a small bowl combine preserves, orange juice and (if desired) liqueur. Gently brush half of the glaze on both sides of each skewer.
3
Grill skewers 1-1 ½ minutes per side or just until grill marks appear. Transfer to a serving platter; brush with remaining glaze. Serve skewers with whipped cream, if desired.
Tips
*If using wooden skewers, soak at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
