Honey Grilled Pork and Pear Kabobs

Try this fresh version of the traditional kabob during this year’s BBQ season.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (454 g) Canadian Pork Loin or Shoulder Blade Roast or Chops, boneless, well trimmed
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) apple juice
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp (25 ml) honey
  • 1 medium pear, cut in 4 wedges
  • 1 medium red onion, cut in 8 wedges
  • 1 sweet red or green pepper, cut into 1″/2.5 cm pieces
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced

Directions

If using bamboo skewers, presoak in water 1 hour. Place pork cubes in a resealable plastic bag, non-metal bowl or sealable container. In a separate bowl, combine apple juice, Dijon mustard, and honey and pour over pork. Seal or cover and refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours.

Remove pork from marinade, reserving marinade in a small saucepan. Bring marinade to a boil and boil for at least 1 minute. Thread pork onto skewers, alternating with pieces of pear, red onion, green or red peppers and zucchini.

Preheat barbecue on high; reduce heat to medium. Place kabobs on lightly oiled grill and brush with marinade; close barbecue cover and grill over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with apple juice marinade. Serve with rice.
