1 medium tart crisp apple (such as Gala), quartered and cored
1 medium crisp pear, quartered and cored
1 (8-ounce) can pineapple chunks in natural juices
1/2 cup sweet honey mustard, DIVIDED

- Mix remaining 1/4 cup mustard with honey and reserved 2 tablespoons pineapple juice. Save for a dipping sauce.

4 12-inch wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
1 pound FRESH BRATWURST OR ITALIAN SAUSAGE LINKS, cut into 3⁄4 inch slices (slice through the casings)

Directions:
- Mix the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, and pepper together in a small bowl.
- On each skewer, alternately thread the sausage and vegetable chunks, beginning and ending each skewer with red pepper cubes. Leave a small space between the sausage pieces so the sausage will cook through.
