Tonight's Dinner: BBQ Bourbon Pork & Apple Kabobs

Kabobs are a favorite of mine. It doesn't matter if they're shrimp, chicken, pork, steak, or just plain vegetable, they're always delicious. And, with so many flavor combinations, I could have kabobs every night of the week and be completely happy.

Since I'm such a big fan of kabobs, my mother bought me some seasoned skewers. I was intrigued, I'd never heard of seasoned skewers before. They have the flavor baked right into them so you infuse your meats or vegetables from the inside out. I knew I had to try them, but with the weather being so crummy, I decided to put them away until it warmed up.

The day finally arrived when I could pull out my skewers and put them to some use. I decided to try the honey bourbon skewers first because I thought those would be great with some pork. Then I thought, "pork goes well with apples and apples go perfectly with honey," and a new dinner was born. A dinner so easy and so delicious, I'm upset with myself that I didn't use the skewers sooner.

Don't make the same mistake I did. Go out, grab some seasoned skewers, and grill up some delectable kabobs. The weather's just begging for some outdoor entertaining.

BBQ Bourbon Pork & Apple Kabobs

Ingredients

• 6 Honey Bourbon Seasoned Skewers
• 1/2 cup beer
• 1 pound boneless pork loin, cut into 18 cubes about 1-inch in size
• 1 apple
• 8 chunks purple onion
• 6 tablespoons BBQ sauce
• 4 tablespoons bourbon

Directions

1. Soak skewers in beer for 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Thread onto each skewer a piece of pork, a piece of apple, and a piece of onion; repeat one more time and end with one more piece of pork to secure the onion; let sit for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. Meanwhile, whisk together 3 tablespoons BBQ sauce and 3 tablespoons bourbon until well combined, set aside.
4. Lightly salt and pepper skewers to taste; baste with BBQ sauce mixture and place on a preheated medium-high grill and cook until pork is cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes; continue basting skewers as they cook until glaze is gone.
5. While skewers cook on the grill, whisk together remaining BBQ sauce and bourbon until well combined; set aside.
6. Once skewers are done, drizzle on fresh BBQ/bourbon glaze and serve immediately.
