Notes

  • If you use wooden skewers be sure to soak them in water first, this will keep them from burning while grilling. Soaking for about 30 minutes should do it.
  • Store any leftover skewers in an airtight container and refrigerate. They can be re-heated in a low oven. They will keep for up to 2 days in the fridge.
  • Pork is cooked when it reaches the internal temperature of 150-160F.
