Pork and Sweet Potato Kabobs

Just a disclaimer- those brussles sprouts in the picture aren't mine!  But I did clean my plate of the rest of this recipe.

INGREDIENTS

1/3	cup orange marmalade
1	teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1/4	teaspoon salt
1/2	lb dark-orange sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 8 pieces
2	tablespoons water
1/2	lb pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch pieces
1	small zucchini, cut into 8 slices

DIRECTIONS

Heat gas or charcoal grill. In 1-quart saucepan, heat marmalade, rosemary and salt to boiling, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; set aside.

In 1-quart microwavable bowl, place sweet potato pieces and water. Cover loosely with microwavable paper towel. Microwave on High 2 to 3 minutes, stirring once, just until potatoes are tender (do not overcook). Drain sweet potatoes; rinse with cold water.

On each of four 10- to 12-inch metal skewers, carefully thread pork, sweet potatoes and zucchini (with cut side facing out) alternately, leaving 1/4-inch space between each piece.

Place kabobs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 8 to 10 minutes, turning once and brushing with marmalade glaze during last 3 minutes, until pork is no pink in center.

VERDICT

 Quick & easy and on the grill.  I'm not a huge fan of sweet potatoes (unless they're cut like fries and super crunchy!) but they weren't too bad.  The pork was excellent!
