These are a convenient entree since the ingredients can be cut, marinated and threaded ahead of time. Then they go immediately from the fridge to the grill or broiler.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
• 1-1/4 pounds smoked sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 16 cherry tomatoes
• 8 medium fresh mushrooms
• 1 large green pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium onion, cut into eight wedges
• 1 small zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Add the sausage and vegetables; toss to coat. Drain and reserve marinade.
2. On eight metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread sausage and vegetables. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until vegetables are tender and sausage is heated through, basting occasionally with reserved marinade.
