Instructions
Preheat the grill for medium heat (375°F). Clean and oil the grill grate.
Season the pork generously with salt and pepper.
Thread the pork, pepper, onion, and pineapple onto the skewers, alternating between ingredients.
Brush the skewers with about half of the sauce. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Cook the skewers, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, and brushing once more with the remaining sauce during cooking, until the vegetables have softened and the pork has reached an internal temperature of 145°F, 12 to 13 minutes.
Serve with extra sweet and sour sauce, for dipping, if desired.
Notes
Skewers--If you are using wooden skewers, soak them for an hour before threading and grilling the chicken. Metal skewers don't require any preparation.
Don't overcook the pork--Use an instant read thermometer to check the internal temperature and remove the kabobs from the grill when it reaches 145°F.
Storage--Remove any leftovers from the skewers and store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Dietary--This recipe is suitable for dairy-free diets and gluten-free diets, if made using gluten-free sweet and sour sauce.
