Sausage and Veggie Skewers Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized sausages
- 1 large bell pepper
- 1 medium-sized onion
- 1 small zucchini
- 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce
Instructions:
- Start by preheating your grill or campfire. You want it hot enough to cook the sausages and veggies well.
- While your cooking surface is heating up, cut the sausages and veggies into bite-sized pieces.
- Next, thread the sausage pieces, bell pepper, onion, and zucchini onto two skewers. Alternate between the different ingredients to make it colorful and varied.
- Once all your ingredients are on the skewers, brush them with BBQ sauce. Be generous, but also ensure you’ve left some for basting as they cook.
- Now it’s time to cook your skewers. Place them on the grill or hold them over the campfire. Cook for around 10-15 minutes, turning regularly to make sure they cook evenly. Baste with more BBQ sauce each time you turn them.
- The skewers are done when the sausages are cooked through and the veggies are tender and slightly charred.
- Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious, easy-to-make, campfire sausage and veggie skewers!

Balsamic Glaze Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
Instructions:
- Pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan.
- Add the brown sugar and stir until it is dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally. It should take about 15-20 minutes for the mixture to reduce by half and become syrupy.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the balsamic glaze cool. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Note: This recipe will produce more than needed for two servings of Caprese Skewers. Store the leftover balsamic glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for several weeks and can be used in other recipes or as a dressing or drizzle for salads and roasted vegetables.
