Honey Pork Tenderloin Kabobs

This is one of the reason's I started this blog. I made these kabobs a month or two ago and they were really good! But then I totally forgot about them until today. I was struggling to come up with a dinner idea, so I started flipping through old copies of Everyday Food magazine and found this one. I'm hoping that in the future it will be easier to just look through my blog archives instead of searching through cookbooks, magazines, and online searching for something to make!


Last time I made these we did not have a BBQ so I grilled them on a panini press instead. It actually worked great and was really quick and easy. Tonight we decided to use our new BBQ for the first time. It did add a nice flavor to the meal, but it took forever! I might go back to my panini press next time. :)

Honey Pork Tenderloin Kabobs

Ingredients
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup mustard
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
3-4 sweet potatoes cut into 24 one-inch cubes
1-1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 24 one-inch cubes
4 medium ripe unpeeled peaches, pitted and quartered
4 green peppers, each cut into 8 two-inch pieces
8 yellow onion, each cut into 4 two-inch pieces
Olive oil for grilling

Directions
Mix first four ingredients in a bowl; stir well and set glaze aside. Steam or boil sweet potatoes until crisp-tender. Thread 3 sweet potato cubes, 3 pork cubes, 2 peach quarters, 4 green pepper pieces and 4 onion pieces alternately onto each of eight 10-inch skewers. Brush kabobs with honey glaze mixture. Lightly oil grill. Grill over medium-hot coals 5 minutes on each side, basting occasionally with glaze.


I love the grilled peaches on these kabobs. The glaze adds a nice flavor to the meal, but all of the fresh vegetables would probably be just as good even without it. I think this qualifies as being a pretty healthy meal. The recipe makes a ton though! I used less of everything but still ended up with 8 kabobs (I think I had at least 14 last time with the full recipe), which will be plenty for two full meals. Guess what we are having tomorrow night?
