We have a wonderful Cider Mill about an hour away from us that not only has great cider and donuts but it also has a great walking path along the Clinton River.  It is always a great time.  I had this jar of Apple Cinnamon Jelly that my daughter had given me after a visit to the mill.  I decided to use it in the glaze.  Amaaaaaazing....


You are going to want to start your Fall off right with this great seasonal dish.   They made me yearn for crisp, colorful leaves to canopy me while I hike through the woods.  Yes, it is still in the 90's here in Michigan but a girl can dream......

These delicious kabobs combine all the best flavors of Fall. Tender pork chunks, sweet chunks of red apple and onion, coated with an apple cinnamon glaze. You are going to love them!!

ingredients:

  • 1-2 lbs pork tenderloin, trimmed, silver skin removed
  • 1 lg. red onion, cut into eight chunks
  • 1 lg. apple, cored, peeled and cut into eighths (I used Honeycrisp)
  • 1/2 c. apple jam, I used apple cinnamon, if using plain add 1/4 t. cinnamon to sauce
  • 2 T. apple cider vinegar
  • 2 T. olive oil
  • salt and pepper, to taste

instructions:

How to cook Pork and Apple Kabobs

  1. Cut the pork into 16 equal size chunks.  Thread onto 4 metal skewers, alternating pork with onion chunks and apple chunks so that each skewer contains 4 pieces of pork, 2 chunks onion and 2 chunks apple.  Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Whisk together the jelly, cinnamon if using, vinegar and olive oil.  Set aside.
  3. Heat grill to medium high heat.  Place the kabobs on the grill, cover and cook about 4 minutes per side, until grill marks appear.  Open the grill  and baste the kabobs with the sauce.  Continue to turn and baste until the pork is cooked through, the vegetables are tender and the glaze is caramelized, about 10 minutes longer.
