My sisters future inlaws are having luau themed engagement party and I was asked to bring an appetizer. Does anyone have an idea or recipe that's hawaiianish?

Luau Ham and Glazed Pineapple Snacks

.


These delicious skewers of ham and marmalade-glazed fruit are perfect for your luau party. Easy to make and looks great with a decorated toothpick (silk flowers or Luau Umbrella Parasol Picks ). Just poke them into a pineapple and this snack can double as a centerpiece and be eaten too! (Makes about 36 servings). {photo: credits}

Recipe:
1 can of 15 1/4 ounce of pineapple chunks
1/4 cup orange marmalade
6 ounces thinly sliced cooked ham, cut into 4×1/2 inch strips
Wooden toothpicks that have decorated ends like flowers or umbrellas, or other festive theme
1 jar of 10 ounce maraschino cherries
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, toss the pineapple chunks (drained) in the orange marmalade and coat.
Thread a cherry (drained) through a toothpick or skewer.
Wrap a ham string around each pineapple chunk.
Then thread each wrapped pineapple on the toothpick.
Take a pineapple to use as a base. If the pineapple is unsteady, you may need to cut 1/4 of the bottom off to create a stable base.
Place pineapple onto a festive plate. Poke all skewers into the pineapple.
Cover and chill for up to 2 hours. Served chilled.
Another option: If you prefer to serve this as a warm snack, warm the skewers instead of chilling them in the oven on 325 degrees for about 30 minutes and serve immediately.

A crowd pleaser at our house is beef on a stick. Basically take a london broil and slice it lengh wise in to long thin strips.
take each of the stips and put you favorite bbq sauce and sqewer(sp) each one individually so that the meat covers the whole stick.
Once non the bbq it takes maybe 5 minutes total to cook b/c they meat is so thin.
