INGREDIENTS

1 (20 ounce) can unsweetened pineapple chunks
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch slices
1 medium green pepper, cut into chunks
1 1/2 cups cubed fully cooked ham

DIRECTIONS

Drain the pineapple, reserving 2 tablespoons juice; set pineapple aside (discard remaining juice or save for another use). In a saucepan, combine the juice, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon; cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
Place sweet potatoes in another saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are tender; drain.
On metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread sweet potatoes, green pepper, ham and pineapple. Brush with brown sugar mixture. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until heated through and peppers are tender, basting occasionally.
