SALAMI, CHEESE AND PICKLE KABOBS

Steps:

• Cut salami into forty 1/2-inch pieces. Cut cheese into five 1/2-inch slices; cut each slice into eight 1/2-inch cubes. Cut pickles into forty 1/2-inch pieces.
• For each kabob, thread 1 salami piece, 1 pickle piece (with cut side of pickle facing out) and 1 cheese cube on toothpick.

GRILLED CHEESEBURGER KEBABS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for cooking over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.
• Spray a plate with cooking spray. Combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon ketchup, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl. Gently mix together, being careful not to overwork and toughen the meat. Divide the meat into 8 evenly sized balls. Thread the balls onto two 12-inch flat metal skewers, 4 balls per skewer; be sure to leave a little space between each ball. Place the skewers on the plate, and spray them with cooking spray. Keep refrigerated until ready to grill.
• Place the 2 skewers on the grill and cover. Cook, flipping the skewers halfway through, until just cooked through, about 12 minutes. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly. Increase the heat of the grill to medium-high. Brush the meatballs all over with the remaining 2 tablespoons ketchup and cook until glazed.
• Meanwhile, make 2 sandwiches consisting of 2 slices of American cheese between 2 slices of bread. Cut off the crusts, then cut each sandwich into 4 equal-sized squares.
• Drizzle the iceberg lettuce with some oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Build 4 skewers, each composed of: a cherry tomato, cheese sandwich square, meatball, a second cheese sandwich square, a second meatball, lettuce, 3 pickle slices, and a second cherry tomato.
• Lay out a piece of aluminum foil large enough to hold the 4 skewers. Spray the foil with cooking spray and place on the grill. Arrange the skewers on the foil. Cover and cook 2 minutes, then carefully flip the skewers. Cover the grill again to melt and brown the other side of the skewers, about 1 more minute. Serve the skewers with ketchup and mustard.

COLORFUL MARINATED OLIVE KABOBS

Steps:

• In food-storage plastic container or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix marinade ingredients. Add olives and bell pepper squares; cover container or seal bag. Turn to coat well with marinade. Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight, occasionally turning container or bag to coat with marinade.
• To serve, remove olives and pepper squares from marinade; discard marinade. Arrange tomatoes, cut side down, on serving plate. Thread 1 olive and 1 pepper square onto each cocktail pick. Insert each into tomato half for base.

PICKLED OLIVES

Steps:

• Pick over the olives, discard any with big blemishes.
• With a parring knife, cut down the side of the olive, thru to the stone, then turn over and repeat on the other side.
• Place the olives in a 2 litre (8 cup) sterilized jars, untill the jars are 2/3 full, then cover olives with cold water.
• To keep the olives submerged, fill a small plastic bag with water, and sit it on top of the olives. (I used a sandwich, ziplok bag).
• Change the water daily, scum may appear on the surface, but that's fine. Change the water for 4 days with black olives, and for 6 days with green olives.
• Combine the salt and water, stir over heat until the salt has dissolved, cool.
• Drain and discard the water in the jars, fill with enough salted water to cover the olives.
• Pour enough oil into the jars to cover the olives completely, and then seal the jars.
• Mark the date on the jars and store in a cool dark place for 5 weeks.
• After 5 weeks they are ready to eat, but you can then marinate them for another 2 weeks using lemon wedges and garlic, or whatever you like.
• Cover with oil.
• Note: don't mix your olives! they must be pickles separately.
