Ingredients

  • 2 lb pork tenderloin
  • 1 cup jalapeno juice, from jar of pickled jalapenos
  • 2 cups cubed pineapple (fresh is best, but you can also used canned)
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 jalapenos, sliced thick
  • Kabob skewers

Instructions

  • Remove fat and silvery skin from pork tenderloin(s) and cut into 1-inch cubes. Place cubes in a large, resealable plastic bag and pour jalapeno juice over the top. Seal bag, removing as much air as possible, then lay flat and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours, turning to the other side about half-way through to be sure all sides get marinated.
  • Cut pineapple and red bell pepper into 1-inch pieces, jalapeno peppers into 1/2-inch pieces, and set aside. If you will be using wooden skewers, make sure you soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to minimize any burning.
  • When the pork is done marinating remove from the fridge and reserve the marinade. Using one skewer at a time, thread pork, pineapple, red bell pepper and jalapeno in an alternating sequence for a pretty kabob. Repeat this process until all the meat and veggies are gone. I had long, metal skewers and it took me about 4 skewers to use up everything.
  • Once all the skewers are made, brush the reserved marinade over the meat and veggies with a basting brush, on all sides.
  • Heat your grill (gas or charcoal) to around 350 degrees. Lower is fine, but I wouldn't go much hotter or it will cook too fast and your meat may be tough.
  • Place the skewers onto the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, to get nice grill marks, or until meat is cooked to 165 degrees F.
  • Serve immediately!
