Surprise Meatball Skewers

• 1/3 cup honey
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons apple juice
• Dash cayenne pepper
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Pepper to taste
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 block (1-1/2 ounces) Monterey Jack cheese, cut into 12 cubes
• 12 small mushrooms, stems removed
• 1 medium green pepper, cut into pieces
• 1 medium sweet yellow or red pepper, cut into pieces
• 1 medium onion, cut into wedges

1. In a saucepan, combine the first five ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-7 minutes or until onion is tender and sauce is slightly thickened. Remove from the heat; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the egg, bread crumbs, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Add beef and mix well. Divide into 12 portions. Place a cube of cheese in each mushroom cap; shape each meat portions round a mushroom.
3. On six metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternate meatballs, peppers and onion wedges. Grill, uncovered, over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side.
4. Grill 10-12 minutes longer or until meat juices run clear, turning occasionally. Brush with reserved glaze during the last 2 minutes.
