Grilled Abalone Steak & Fruit Skewers

Ingredients:
· abalone steaks
· fresh pineapple
· fresh peach
· fresh pear
·1/2 cup soy sauce
· 1/2 cup sherry
· 1/2 cup mango juice
· 2 Tbs balsamic vinegar
· 2 1/2 Tbs brown sugar
· 1/2 tsp dry mustard
· 1 Tbs grated fresh ginger
· 1 Tbs minced garlic

Mix all ingredients (except abalone) and reserve 1/3 of the mixture for a glaze. Cut abalone into squares.Marinate the steaks, 1 oz each for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Place the reserved marinade in a pan; add 2 Tbs brown sugar and 1 1/2 tsp of cornstarch. Stir over low heat until thickened. Use this glaze as a finish for the fruit on the skewers while grilling. Cube fresh pineapple, peaches, and pears. Assemble skewers by weaving marinated abalone steaks onto the skewers so that the steaks will lie flat on the grill. Alternate with fruit between the steaks. Each double skewer can have 2 steaks. Grill over high heat for 1-2 minutes per side. Brush the fruit with the glaze. Serve hot off the grill.
