Grilling intensifies the flavor of fruit in this colorful break from the ordinary that's perfect for your next gathering.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless pork loin, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 1/3 cup orange marmalade
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 Tbs honey
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 8 wooden skewers, (soak in water before using), or metal skewers
- 1 15 oz can pineapple chunks
- 2 bananas, sliced
- 1 11 oz can mandarin oranges
Directions
- In a small saucepan, mix together the marmalade, orange juice, honey and cinnamon. Stir over low heat until mixture bubbles gently. Divide pork cubes into 4 equal parts and thread on 4 skewers. Fill remaining 4 kabobs with pineapple, bananas, and mandarin oranges. Place fruit kabobs on large plate and coat with glaze. Spoon remaining glaze over pork kabobs. Grill or broil pork about 4 inches from heat source for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve immediately with fruit kabobs.
