Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh apricots. If fresh apricots are not available, you can use dried apricots that have been soaked in warm water for 30 minutes.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the kabobs in a grill pan over medium heat.
  • Be sure to marinate the pork for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the kabobs over medium heat so that the pork has time to cook through without burning.
  • Brush the kabobs with the apricot glaze every few minutes while cooking. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the kabobs with your favorite sides, such as rice, grilled vegetables, or salad.

Conclusion:

Apricot glazed pork kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tangy glaze complements the tender pork perfectly, and the kabobs can be cooked on the grill or in a grill pan. Whether you are entertaining guests or simply looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, apricot glazed pork kabobs are a great choice.
