Recipe type: Dinner, Grilling
Serves: 5-6 kebabs
Ingredients
  • SAUCE:
  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • ¾ cup ketchup
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup bourbon, rum, or brandy
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • KEBABS:
  • 2 pork tenderloins, trimmed and cut into 3-inch cubes
  • 1 large red onion, cut into large chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into large chunks
Instructions
  1. Preheat grill to medium-high. Place a 4-inch thick strip of foil on grill, closest to you. The foil will keep your skewers from burning and make it so you can touch the ends of the skewers without them getting too hot.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, saute onion in butter until soft.
  3. Stir in ketchup, orange juice, vinegar, bourbon, brown sugar, molasses, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  5. Using a hand blender (or a regular blender), puree the sauce. Set 1 cup sauce aside for serving.
  6. Thread pork, bell pepper, and red onion on double skewers and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Grill kebabs 4 minutes on one side and then baste with some of the remaining sauce. Turn kebabs again and grill 4 more minutes. Baste again and cook for an additional 4 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees. Serve with reserved sauce.
