Ingredients

  • 1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into cubes

  • 2 apples, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 (5-ounce) bottle tiny cocktail onions
  • ¼ cup melted butter

Juicy pork tenderloin, sweet pineapple, tart apple chunks, and tangy cocktail onions—this combo might sound unexpected, but it’s pure magic on a skewer. These Pork and Pineapple Kabobs are a delicious fusion of flavors that taste even better over glowing coals.

Cooking Steps

  • 1

    Grill over hot coals for 20 to 25 minutes, turning occasionally, until pork is fully cooked and lightly browned.
