HISTORY
When we selected Maria to be a partner in 2023 we knew we would be getting unique and fun recipes to share with all of you. Her Greek inspired dishes are out of this world and why not throw some cranberries in the mix? These flavors aren't typically mixed however that's the beauty of cranberries, they're so versatile. They truly can be incorporated into so many recipes. You can see more of Maria's recipes on her blog, Food by Maria.
RECIPE
Ingredients
For the skewers
- 3-4 peaches, sliced in half, pit removed and sliced into 1 inch cubes (about 2 cups)
- 2 cups cubed honeydew melon (1 inch cubes)
- 8-12 1 inch cubes of feta cheese
- 6-8 wood or metal skewers
For the cranberry marinade
- 1 cup Cape Cod Frozen Cranberries
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 tbsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- juice of one lemon
- 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
- If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water while you prep the ingredients.
- To a medium pan add 2 tbsp butter and turn to medium heat. Add in the cranberries, maple syrup and water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, turn to medium low heat and cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until cranberries are reduced to a jammy like texture. Set aside.
- In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, dried oregano, salt, pepper, lemon juice, red wine vinegar and minced garlic. Add the cranberry mixture and whisk together. Set aside.
- To assemble, thread the peach cubes, melon cubes and feta cubes onto skewers, mix and match as you go.
- Make sure to leave some room at the base of the skewer so you can grab onto them to place on the grill. This should make about 6-8 skewers.
- Spray grill with cooking spray or oil grill with avocado oil. Heat it to 350-375F.
- Brush the skewers with the cranberry marinade and keep any of the sauce that’s left.
- Once the grill is heated, add the skewers and grill about 2-3 minutes per side, total about 8-12 minutes until melon and peach are just tender, basting with the sauce a few times. Serve as an appetizer or on top of greens or grains of choice.
