Smoky, savory chorizo sausage contrasts deliciously with sweet summer fruit. Grilling them together unites the ingredients with a seared taste that is perfect for summer entertaining. If cherries or figs are not in season, try apples, apricots or pineapples.

Steps

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 25-30 minutes to keep them from burning on the grill. Skewer the ingredients together, alternating between chorizo, fruit and onion. Drizzle with olive oil. Cook over medium high heat on the grill for about ten minutes, rotating the skewers periodically. Serve with good crusty bread and a crisp white wine.
