Cup of Yum
Kabobs:
- Soak 10 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.
- Alternate pork, bell pepper, pineapple and sweet onion on the skewers.
- Heat the grill to medium-high heat (350°F). Oil the grates generously.
- Place the skewers over indirect heat, cooking for 2-3 minutes before turning. Cook for a total of 12 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 160°F. Cooking times will vary greatly depending on the heat of your grill and size of the pork.
- Remove the kabobs and rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Fresh pineapple is easier to skewer, but you can use canned if a pinch and to save time. I buy precut fresh pineapple in the produce section. Some grocers will also carry various vegetables precut for kabobs that can save even more time.
