Nectarine Pork Shish Kabobs
These sweet Nectarine Pork Shish Kabobs are hands down my favorite kabobs and one of my all time favorite summer meals. Tender, juicy pork marinated in a savory honey mustard sauce pairs perfectly with sweet grilled nectarines. There’s something about grilled fruit that just can’t be beat! Each bite is an explosion of citrusy flavor and the tender pork grills up with a sweet glaze that is mouthwatering. Each time we serve this to guests we get rave reviews!
Tips for Perfect Summer Grilling
From pork to beef to veggies and fruit, you can skewer and grill virtually anything! We grill out most days of the week during the summer and many of those meals include some sort of kabob or skewer recipe. Prep is simple, clean up is easy and the food tastes incredible. Some tips for perfect kabobs:
Oil up your grill grate so the kabobs don’t stick.Don’t cook kabobs on super high heat. They’ll burn quickly if you’re not careful.We like making these on our pellet grill so there aren’t flare-ups. Plus it gives them an added delicious smoky flavor.Wooden or bamboo skewers can burn easily so I like to soak them in water for about 15 minutes before threading the food onto the sticks.While cooking, keep basting the pork and nectarines with honey so the glaze cooks nicely with the food.
What to Serve with Nectarine Pork Shish Kabobs
You can make these as an appetizer of a main dish. Either way be sure you make plenty because they will go FAST! Usually we make this as a main dish and serve with either Cilantro Lime Rice or Easy Lemon Rice. I love the zesty rice flavors with the sweet flavor of the skewers. They balance out nicely. You can also serve over salad greens or with roasted potatoes.
