One thing I love about summer is grilling.   I love the way food tastes on the grill, I love that I don’t have to heat up the kitchen, and I really like that my husband does the grilling so I can relax.   One of our favorite things to grill or kabobs.   It’s such an easy and healthy dinner entree.  It’s also a great way to use leftover vegetables that I have in the refrigerator.

I’m always looking for new marinades to use on the kabobs.   Whenever I’m in a hurry I simply use a pre-made marinade and throw everything in the refrigerator for a few hours.   However, whenever I have time I like to experiment with different flavors.  My newest marinade contains Musselman’s Apple Butter in it.  I know what you are thinking, apple butter?  I wasn’t sure about it as a marinade either. #AppleButterSpin

I mixed up the marinade with the apple butter, garlic, vinegar, tomato juice, and some seasonings.   It smelled delicious.   I mixed it with the beef and left it in the refrigerator for 3 hours.   When I took it out I stacked the beef between slices of pineapple, yellow squash, mushrooms, and peppers.

When the kabobs came off the grill the smell was amazing.   The marinade had made a thin, crisp layer on the beef.   It tasted delicious!  The flavors were slightly sweet with a pinch of cinnamon and a ton of garlic.   I was surprised by how much both my husband and I enjoyed these kabobs.

  1. I love grilling vegetables (zucchini, peppers, eggplant) to chop into salads.
    And tri-tip. Mmmmmmmm.

  2. I LOVE grilling steaks! Although I can’t wait to try out the Kabobs w/apple butter – the flavor combinations and what they’ll taste like intrigue me!

    1. I was surprised by how much we both enjoyed this marinade. My husband isn’t a sweet marinade fan but with the slight spiciness and the garlic, it was pretty delicious!
