How to Make Apricot Glazed Pork Kabobs

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup apricot preserves, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 2 tablespoons apricot liqueur (or orange liqueur), and 2 tablespoons butter. Simmer over low heat until butter is melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes.
  2. Place 1.5 lbs of cubed pork (about 1-inch cubes) in a heavy-duty plastic bag. Pour ¾ cup of the apricot mixture over the pork, ensuring all cubes are coated. Seal the bag tightly.
  3. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
  4. Soak 4-6 skewers in water for at least 60 minutes to prevent burning on the grill. Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the skewers.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kabobs for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally and basting frequently with the remaining apricot glaze, until the pork is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  6. Heat the remaining apricot sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed through. Serve alongside the kabobs.
